About TouchYourWorld

Where it started

  1. 2013

    The idea begins

    TouchYourWorld began as an idea about people doing something positive in their own worlds — helping someone, surprising someone, backing a dream or simply creating a little bit of magic.

    We wanted to call it TouchYourWorld, but we couldn’t acquire TouchYourWorld.com. So the original concept was launched under another name: JellyFromMe.

    The heart of the idea was right. The name wasn’t.

    The name finally becomes ours

    Nearly a decade later, we acquired TouchYourWorld.com from HugeDomains for $3,795.

    The platform still had to be built, but the idea finally had the name and home it was always meant to have.

  3. 2023

    The idea comes back to life

    As Founder, Romeo completed a certificate in Disruptive Technologies at Harvard Business School, which brought the original JellyFromMe idea back into focus.

    Technology had changed, the possibilities had grown, and we could finally see how TouchYourWorld could become a real global platform.

    Thirteen years after the original idea, TouchYourWorld is finally becoming what it was always meant to be: a happy place where people can Care, Share, Dream — and above all, have fun.

    The website is new. The idea isn’t.

Founder

Why we built it

The internet is full of places asking for attention, money or outrage.

We wanted to build something different.

A place where people can choose what matters to them.

A place where people can Care, Share, and Dream.

And above all, a place that feels fun.

What we’re building

Care

Help people, causes and communities that matter to you.

Share

Support, celebrate or spoil the people you care about.

Dream

Back ideas, goals, wishes and dreams - including your own.

TouchYourWorld brings all three together in one place.

The idea is simple

It’s Your World. Touch It.

You don’t have to change the whole world.

Just touch the part of it that matters to you.

Where we’re going

We’re building a global place where people can discover Stories, Touch the ones that matter to them and come back to see what happened.
