Through its Rewards Program, CARROT encourages a lead a more active lifestyle by providing financial rewards for doing things like walking, biking and shopping. CARROT benefits people of all ages and lifestyles - this free app actually rewards people FINANCIALLY just for being active!

At the same time, CARROT allows a business to connect directly with new and loyal customers through its iBeacon offers and seamlessly-integrated social media messages. Essentially, CARROT helps level the playing field with big box stores. CARROT has already been featured on WDIV Local4 and Fox2 Detroit, as well as in a variety of publications from around the country. More information is available at www.CARROTpass.com.

Company founder Michael Antaran was selected by Goldman Sachs to participate in its 2014 10k Small Business Program - a program he successfully completed while developing CARROT. The company's team consists of the brightest engineers from the top schools in Michigan, and it has the ability to accommodate multiple programming languages and adapt in a start-up environment.

Ultimately, the exceptional products Marvel Aps creates wouldn't be possible without the vision and commitment of its clients - they must have the willingness to dream, to take changes, and to trust the team's ideas and expertise. The unique partnerships Marvel Apps builds with its customers typically result in the creation of remarkably innovative products.
