Meet Upside:

Upside is a high-growth retail technology company driving hundreds of millions of dollars in tried profit to brick and mortar businesses.

Tens of thousands of retailers nationwide are seeing a 52% return on investment on average—results that have been independently audited by Fortune 500 and third-party analytics companies. On the consumer side of the marketplace, millions of users power $5 billion in purchases through the Upside platform every year. They use our top-rated mobile app to see 2 to 3 times more value on their purchases than with any other product. By helping people and businesses do better, communities grow stronger.
