Relay
Local perks membership for your neighborhood, $9/mo
Relay is a $9/month membership for one neighborhood at a time, starting with Clarendon in Arlington, VA. Members get recurring perks — a free coffee, a class, a discount — from independent businesses within walking distance. Pre-launch: I’m signing local merchants now and collecting a waitlist. Would love feedback on whether the merchant side of this can work.
Hey PH 👋 I’m building Relay because I kept thinking the local-perks thing has always been solved backwards — Groupon burned merchants, punch cards don’t scale, and apps like this usually die because the businesses stop caring.
So the honest state: the landing page is live, zero merchants signed, zero members. I’m in Clarendon this week asking coffee shops what they’d actually give a member for free every month. That’s the real test.
The question I’d love help with: has anyone here made the supply side of a two-sided local network work? What made merchants stay in?
