What is Menyala?
Menyala is a venture builder founded by Temasek, a global investment firm headquartered in Singapore. We empower builders to drive technological shifts.
What is the role?
Web3 technology and economies have the potential to disrupt traditional markets dominated by gate-keepers, data silos, and lack of consumer ownership, interoperability, and transparency. Power and influence continues to be consolidated amongst fewer large companies at the expense of consumers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. We aim to change that.
The Problem: Retail Loyalty is Broken
Consumers are being betrayed by businesses, causing loyalty preferences to change rapidly. Businesses have been taking consumer loyalty for granted, giving them pennies back to their dollar, and further diluting the value of these programs. As a result, consumers’ preferences are shifting towards more tangible rewards for their loyalty, such as cashback. Direct acquisition platforms (affiliate programs, etc.) have since surged in popularity; further boosted by the changing AdTech space.
Our Vision: Turbocharged web2 affiliate network fueled by web3 token liquidity
We envision a future where Web3 solves Web2 problems of today:
- There are billions in value to be extracted from Web3 with 40% reserved for user acquisition.
- Web3 brands and communities have some of the strongest retention rates and engagement compared to Web2.
