Spriggli - Testing & Communication - Venture for Canada Intrapreneurship Project

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Spriggli helps to build meaningful community engagement through our online booking system connecting event organizers, venues, and service providers in the community. Spriggli also allows for guests to RSVP or for tickets to be sold. The entire system allows for each user to define their terms, conditions, cancellations policies, list their availability, and accept bookings with guaranteed payment for the services to be provided, as Spriggli collects payment up front on behalf of the parties – acting as the agent of trust between them. Listing with and using Spriggli is free, we collect a 5% service fee from users only when a fee-for-service booking is made. So that means all free and volunteer services, events and venues listings can use the listing and booking system for free. Launching this August after three years of conceptual and online development, Spriggli will start by building a small and robust base of users, then focus on an organic growth strategy that will keep meaningful connections, community resilience and growth at its heart.
