Ryan Wuerch serves as the executive chairman and founder of Dosh, a mobile application that uses breakthrough technology to put money back into the hands of consumers and businesses by eliminating the unnecessary spend on advertising. Beyond his professional pursuits, Ryan Wuerch is actively involved in the nonprofit his grandfather founded in 1972 called Epiphany International. One of Epiphany International’s projects has been a partnership with Water for Good to create water wells for communities in Central African Republic (CAR).

In severely impoverished countries like CAR, access to clean water can contribute to lasting improvements in people’s lives and serve as the first step out of poverty. Access to water allows villages to focus on education, industry, and other initiatives that will help them become more prosperous. Water for Good addresses this issue by working with staff stationed in Central Africa to drill water wells that provide sustainable and clean water to war-torn CAR villages. A maintenance team visits the wells on a regular basis to conduct inspections, replace worn or broken parts, and perform any necessary repairs.

Water for Good’s initiative follows a multistep process, beginning with the establishment of a community committee in charge of overseeing the well and village water usage. The committee works with Water for Good to determine a well site and Water for Good drills the well. The nonprofit also holds community training classes that cover sanitation, nutrition, community health, and AIDS/HIV education. In addition, Water for Good teams help with the planning of other community development projects.

A veteran business executive, Ryan Wuerch has served in leadership positions for a range of companies, including mobile data services firm Moticity. Following his role as founder and CEO at Solavei, Ryan Wuerch is now the executive chairman and founder overseeing the launch of his new company, the DOSH mobile app, which offers users an easy way to claim cash back on everyday purchases.

Currently in public beta and available on both Google Play and Apple’s App Store, DOSH allows users to connect their debit and credit cards with the app. The app then automatically locates cash back offers on the purchases made using the connected cards so the user can receive cash back that he or she would not have received otherwise.

Convenience stands at the heart of the DOSH app, as it saves the user from going through the hassle of searching for promo codes and offers or scanning receipts into the app that would entitle them to cash back on purchases. Further, DOSH provides a hotel booking feature that offers great prices on the hotel as well as cash back for each night booked. This is ideal for business or leisure travelers, or really anyone searching for hotel rooms at a lower-than-market value.

Dosh cash-back app to launch with more than 100K businesses

Dosh is making its debut as retailers are struggling. Store closures are on pace to break a record this year, and the retail industry could be careening over a tipping point that it’s unlikely to rebound from. The industry could be undergoing a permanent restructuring as e-commerce continues to rise and eliminates the need for the surfeit of malls and shops that has been littering the U.S. retail landscape. With desperate retailers seeking digital answers to their difficulties, Dosh seems to be arriving at a good time to strike partnerships. It also appears to have done the legwork for potential partners by linking with credit card companies, giving them little reason not to try Dosh.
