Don’t Panic Labs, the development arm of the Lincoln-based software investment fund Nebraska Global, is pleased to announce its investment in DealAnyDay, an online service that helps people save money with a list of no-coupon deals in their city.
The DealAnyDay app enables customers to find deals based on the location of their mobile device, from a city-based list, or with a map of “Nearby” deals. It is free for businesses to list a deal and free for people to use a deal. Businesses can increase their visibility by using DealAnyDay’s premium “Featured” tier, which promotes their listings to the top of relevant search results and on the first page of their app.
“People love us – no coupons, nothing to buy, no points to manage, just an easy way to instantly discover great deals,” said Mailani Veney, president of DealAnyDay. “Businesses love us – no revenue sharing, no loyalty program, just an easy way to attract new customers on their phones.”
DealAnyDay’s approach is different because its entries are human-curated. In most of its cities, DealAnyDay is the only company that lists local deals in one app: Food & Drink specials, Happy Hour specials, and non-food deals like oil changes, haircuts, and movie tickets.
The DealAnyDay mobile app is the result of a partnership forged with Don’t Panic Labs in late 2015. By co-locating at the Don’t Panic Labs offices, the two teams were able to closely collaborate on development of a highly-functional yet easy-to-use mobile app.
“We chose to partner with Don’t Panic Labs because we were looking for a strategic technology partner and not just an outsourced contractor,” said Veney. “Our partnership with Don’t Panic Labs has truly accelerated DealAnyDay’s growth.”
“As we got to know the DealAnyDay team and saw their passion and tenacity, we knew we wanted to partner with them,” said Brian Zimmer, Business Director at Don’t Panic Labs. “Our team is excited to be involved in creating the foundation of DealAnyDay’s mobile strategy. By leveraging our expertise in Xamarin, we are able to accelerate time to market and reduce overall maintenance and development efforts for both iOS and Android.”
The DealAnyDay mobile app can be downloaded for free from the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store.
The DealAnyDay team is based out of the Don’t Panic Labs’ offices in the Historic Haymarket District of Lincoln, Nebraska.
