## Who We Are
VideoBackedMoney is a video-gated, card-based giving platform that rebuilds donor trust through transaction-level accountability. We bypass broken institutional systems with direct, visible proof.

## Core Concept

- After each transaction, the card locks until a thank-you video is uploaded
- Donors see exactly where their money goes, transaction by transaction

## Key Features
- Video-gated spending (no video = no next transaction)
- Direct donor-to-recipient funding
- Real-time transaction visibility
- Sponsor-assisted onboarding
