Reavo

Reavo’s founders came with a real consumer pain, people juggle multiple credit and loyalty cards but rarely know which to use to maximize rewards, and a lot of passion. What they didn’t have was focus: a 43-page proposal spread across too many ideas, no defined product strategy, no knowledge of how the rewards and loyalty industry actually works, and no technical expertise to build it.

Reavo set out to solve a familiar problem: busy consumers hold multiple credit and loyalty cards but lack the time or knowledge to use the right one at the right place. The app recommends the best card and loyalty program to use at a given merchant based on location and available rewards, and doubles as a wallet with educational content to build better financial habits.

The founders had the conviction and the pain point, but not the focus or the domain expertise. They partnered with OAK’S LAB to turn a broad vision into a market-ready product and to navigate the realities of the rewards and loyalty industry.

The mandate was to bring focus, take a sprawling 43-page concept and shape it into one clear payment-optimization product, then design, build, and launch it on a lean timeline.

That meant defining the product strategy and scope, grounding it in how the rewards and loyalty industry really works, and delivering a complete MVP ready to compete in a crowded payments market.

We started with two months of discovery, competitor mapping, user interviews, and quantitative research, to validate the problem and define a clear scope, then delivered end to end: product strategy, design, and full-stack mobile development, plus go-to-market guidance across the five-month engagement.

From proposal to product in 5 months. Reavo went from an unfocused 43-page proposal to a fully defined, investor-ready fintech product in five months.
