This entrepreneur is different compared to the others I have blogged about. His name is Lucas Duplan and he is the founder of the biggest app that doesn’t exist yet. His new app idea is called Clinkle.
Lucas Duplan is a 22 year old Stanford computer-science major dropout out that is hard at work creating something very innovative in the world of digital payment. Duplan plans for Clinkle to completely eradicate the need for a wallet. The Clinkle app is planned to turn your phone into a digital wallet that you can pay for everything with.
But you may ask, hasn’t this already been invented with the likes of Square and Google Wallet? Well according to Duplan, Clinkle has a clear advantage over them. But what is this advantage? No one knows except for Duplan and his investors; such as Richard Branson and former PayPal CEO Peter Theil.
So, who knows what will become of Clinkle in the years to follow. Whether the general public gets to see Clinkle in action or not at all. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
This is an interesting story. Now I’m very curious to hear what makes Clinkle so different from current products. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for Clinkle’s release to learn more about this idea. Thank you for sharing!
It will be interesting to see if it turns out well for clinkle or if its a huge bust. For Duplan, seeing that he dropped out i would assume that he has a lot invested in this company. Big things to come perhaps.
Very interesting with the big names he has investing in him. Must be a pretty solid idea to have some of the world’s richest and smartest names associated with. Would be nice not lugging around a wallet anymore.
