Overview
Bravo is a mobile app that enables cashless, peer-to-peer payments with a strong focus on digital tipping. It lets users send and receive gratuities and other payments without sharing private information such as names or phone numbers, using GPS to find nearby payees. The product started as a tipping tool for service professionals, artists, and nonprofits, but expanded to cover payments for services, fan-page monetization, and storefronts. Unlike some payment apps, Bravo emphasizes private, one-time and recurring transactions between strangers within a location-aware network. Its approach centers on privacy and ease of use for casual, small-amount payments. Bravo was backed by investors including Light AI, was acquired on December 30, 2019, and is now deadpooled.
