Curva Pen vs Qapital

A patented, elegant new way of writing that fixes a wide range of challenges for both right and left-handed people.

What is the inspiration behind creating this project?
The inspiration behind creating Curva Pen was to bring forth a writing instrument that offered more versatility than the standard straight point pen. Clarence Parker wants everyone to be inspired to write and draw at their best, and have a fun experience doing it.

Why does this need to exist in the world?
Curva Pen needs to exist in the world because it’s been over 100 years since the first felt-tip pen was patented in 1910. Nothing much has changed since then, until now. Curva Pen is a patented, elegant new way of writing that fixes a wide range of challenges for both right and left-handed people. From Messy handwriting due to grip, posture and coordination, to lefty’s trying to find a comfortable way to contort their hand to write neatly and without smearing the ink?

There has been a sort of ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to writing instruments. Not everyone can write comfortably when limited to the single straight point of standard pens.

Why is this better than any other solutions on the market?
The Curva Pen is better than any other pen because the patented NIB grants the user greater control, flexibility, comfort and visibility to write or draw in a way that is best for them. Just imagine using a pen that feels as if it were made just for you. Things have finally evolved with the introduction of Curva Pen, a new patented writing instrument featuring an elegant enhancement that offers so many benefits.

Save small, live large. Use gamified automatic savings to meet your financial goals. Get the life you want with the money you've already got.

Qapital is a new mobile-first banking app dedicated to changing the way that young professionals and millennials save and spend. Millennials are more credit-shy and debt-burdened than their parents, and the ongoing fallout of the Great Recession has diminished their trust in conventional banking. Qapital uses gamified, automatic savings to allow its customers set aside small amounts of money regularly, so they can have the things they want — without relying on credit.

Customers can create a unique and fun (yes, fun) savings plan that blends seamlessly into their lifestyle. The product enables them to set up rules that trigger automatic savings for a specific goal. As an example, every time a Qapital user resists the temptation to buy a latte, she can trigger the app to put the equivalent cost into an FDIC-backed Qapital account. Users can direct these savings toward a goal of their choosing, such as a trip to Paris or a security deposit on a new apartment, or set them aside as a rainy-day fund.
