Philosophy

Most "smart city" or related projects fail. This is largely caused by misinformed companies who still prioritize big data collection and large infrastructure installations over community benefit.

blossom is a response to this methodology. We prioritize lightweight, cost-effective services with positive community impact. Once the time is right, we have all of the tools necessary to grow our services with the community.

Our goal for blossom is simple: to bridge the digital divide by working together.

Technology App Interface

At blossom, we consider the design and functionality of our software to be critical. We simplify complex processes into engaging features that can be utilized equally by all of our users, regardless of technical skill or accessibility needs.

Technology Endpoint Connection

blossom’s connection of disparate endpoints into localized networks is made possible by our specialized smart-agreement system. Through our API, we can connect with any internet-enabled software or device.

Services ‍Charitable Energy

Charitable Energy is one of Blossom's flagship services.

This solution streamlines the entire charitable giving process by using the Blossom platform as a central facilitator between utilities, charitable organizations, and those in need. We provide a single location for donor matching, aid application, program management, and much more.

In short, Charitable Energy cuts out unnecessary overhead for all parties to get more money to people who need it.

History

blossom was started in early 2017 by co-founders Chris Mertens (left) and Joe Gardner (right). In its initial form, blossom functioned as a universal trading post that was meant to enable true “apples-to-oranges” exchanges.

Over the past seven years, this idea has evolved greatly. Our team’s drive to make a positive impact with our technology broadened our focus and has led to a rethinking of how our platform could best serve entire communities.

The result is a completely new type of service that we believe is instrumental for community growth both now and into the future.
