ProofOfTaste

ProofOfTaste is a mobile + web app for sending premium gifts (wine, spirits, gourmet, jewelry, leather goods) with authenticity and delivery guarantees. It focuses on one ugly reality in luxury gifting: fakes, damaged deliveries, and “it arrived late” disasters that ruin relationships. The app curates only vetted merchants and uses a verification workflow (merchant attestations, serial/lot capture, tamper-evident packaging photos, and delivery condition checks). Buyers pick an occasion, budget, and recipient constraints (allergies, preferences, office rules), then choose from a small, high-confidence catalog. Recipients get a tasteful reveal page, can schedule delivery windows, and can swap within strict price bands to avoid awkward returns. It’s not trying to be a broad marketplace; it’s a reliability layer for high-stakes gifting with concierge escalation when something goes wrong.
