Miami-Based Shopping App, DROPIT, Named in Top 10 Growth Startups at the 2019 Startup Grind Global Conference in Silicon Valley

MIAMI, Feb. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DROPIT, a gamified shopping app that allows users to choose the price of retail products, has been selected from thousands of tech startups as a top 10 growth startup by Startup Grind for the 2019 Startup Grind Global Conference in Redwood City, CA on Feb.12th and 13th.

Powered by Google for Startups, Startup Grind is a tech accelerator program that assists in the development and scalability of innovative tech platforms to global markets. "Our team is excited to be selected in the top 10 startups at the conference and introduce the DROPIT app to successful tech entrepreneurs and investors in the Bay area. The DROPIT app has earned a spot in the Growth Accelerator category because it offers consumers and retailers a new online shopping experience to buy and sell products in the mobile app space," said Brendan Howell, Chief Executive Officer of DROPIT INC.

DROPIT transforms the way consumers shop online with its patented drop auction system. "With the DROPIT app, new products are auctioned off starting at the suggested retail price and over 60 seconds, the price continuously drops. Users compete against each other to purchase the product at the price of their choice — but they have to be quick to claim the product before other shoppers. This new shopping experience is very much like a game and really gets one's adrenaline pumping. In contrast to other auction platforms in which products are sold starting at the lowest price and the highest bidder wins over the course of a few days, the DROPIT app expedites the auction time frame while making the experience exhilarating and interactive," Howell said.
