Small Business Social Enterprise

ReliablyME is a Toronto-based for-profit social enterprise founded in 2018. It has developed a gamified, commitments-based nudging platform designed to help individuals flourish by generating evidence of their authentic selves. The platform provides an onramp to financial and social inclusion with a social commitment portfolio at each step of the journey, enabling clients to measure the behavior of their workforce.

The platform employs a commitments-nudging process via instant messaging (SMS/WhatsApp), web app, mobile app, and API integrations designed to affect and track behavioral outcomes. It empowers users with a behavioral credential to ease their access to opportunities for a better quality of life.

ReliablyME's technology is designed to integrate with various applications that have a commitment or goal component, enabling users to build their universal ReliablyME Commitment Portfolios across different scenarios. This approach allows individuals to objectively demonstrate their personal integrity and good character, facilitating easier and more equitable access to resources such as education, employment, housing, credit, and insurance.

In addition to its core platform, ReliablyME offers turnkey solutions for internship programs at higher education institutions and employers. These solutions aim to enhance the internship experience and project outcomes by fostering engagement and accountability among interns.

Overall, ReliablyME's mission is to empower individuals and organizations to overcome self-limiting behaviors and measure behavioral outcomes, thereby promoting personal growth and social inclusion.
