This topic is one that I am currently working on and really have enjoyed. Folded Hands is an app that has been developed by a group of computer science majors for their senior project. Their idea was to develop a software app that allows church pastors and their congregants to have an open communication. This prayer app is a for profit business app that is targeting large churches in the Pittsburgh area to start out. While the app seems to have redemptive aspects to it, the other way to make it even more redemptive is from the funds of larger church memberships, we are going to help aid smaller churches and give them the folded hands subscription for free.
My team, Dillon Werstuik and Avalon Parsons, are coming up with this business model to pitch at the wolverine venture battle this Friday April 28th, 2023. Through working with the software developers and pastor Janet Pratt, we believe we have something that could help integrate faith into our lives and those around us. Being in communion with one another does not have to only be on Sundays and this prayer app gives people a chance to connect and ask for or give out prayers in a way that keeps our hearts focused on caring for one another.
The app is already a thing and with time is projected to earn $150K by 2025. This slow and steady growth can help spread God’s love in a way that helps be in the cutlure but not of it. Our other target is small schools that would like this version of a way to get in touch with others.
