Daily problems the Smyle pilot community experiences and aims to solve:

  • Running out of storage
  • Scrolling endlessly through a camera roll trying to track down  memories
  • Spending hours organizing photos and sorting them into albums
  • Shuffling back and forth between one’s phone, computer hard-drive, cloud account, social media and back again in an “endless battle” to capture, organize, find and share photos
  • Taking the same photo over and over and over again to make sure everyone gets a copy

“At Smyle, we think it’s time for a new take on the photo capture and sharing experience — one that reflects the central role that our camera phones have taken on in our world and our lives, and makes it easy and fun for smartphone users to capture, organize and share their memories using the best technology that the 21st century has to offer,” shared the campaign.

In addition to consumer beta users, Smyle recently secured their first enterprise partners, Life Time Fitness and Executive Business Consulting Mexico, who have agreed to pilot the startup’s enterprise solution.  iN addition, the startup has partnered with global organizations World Food Program, World Vision, Save the Children and Compassion International in the fight to give children in developing nations all over the world access to food and educational opportunities.

With $300,000 in funding commitments, the Smyle team has completed the front end development of their application and plans to launch its full beta application in July.
