About Us<\/h1><\/div>

ReFoundMe is a software platform that uses technology to identify and <\/span>localize personal belongings.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Each item is assigned a unique QR code<\/b> and linked to the owner in a secure environment<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If an item is found, the finder can contact the owner with a single scan<\/b> <\/span>or leave it at\na Hub: <\/span>places such as sports clubs,\nschools, and shops <\/span>that want to help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Privacy is key<\/b>: The contact\ndetails of both owner <\/span>and finder remain\nstrictly protected unless <\/span>they choose to\nshare them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our goal is clear<\/b>: to equip millions of items with a ReFoundMe code in a short time and establish a network of thousands of Hubs.
<\/span>We believe most people want to help<\/span><\/b> when they find a lost item.<\/b> By making it <\/span>as easy as possible for the finder, <\/span>we increase the chances that lost property <\/span>will be returned. <\/span>The more items and locations connected, the greater the social impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you as enthusiastic about our solution as we are?\nDo you want to help us develop our startup further or collaborate?\nWe\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>
