Problem

  • 97.2% Lost Receipts
  • 85% Receipts have BPS
  • 3.7 M Trees
  • 10 B Gallons
  • 1/2 M Carbon Emissions

Losing paper receipts is a universal experience. Among the 722 people we surveyed, 97.2% reported having lost a paper receipt at some point. Beyond their inconvenience, paper receipts pose serious health and environmental issues. 85% of paper receipts are laced with BPS, which is commonly linked to reproductive problems, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Beyond health concerns, thermal receipts are non-recyclable and generate waste. This costs the environment 3.7 million trees, 10 billion gallons of water, and carbon emissions equivalent to half a million cars annually.

Our Story

In the Fall of 2024, Leah Saucedo, Alan Meyer, and Abigail Chow entered The University of Tulsa’s Hurricane Pitch Competition, where Leah's frustration with a lost receipt that cost her $50 sparked the idea for Tally, their innovative digital receipt management startup. Among 722 people we surveyed, 97.2% reported having lost a paper receipt at some point. However, receipts are not just inconvenient: they pose serious health and environmental risks. Our mission is to provide convenient, safe, contactless digital receipts, reducing the risk of environmental waste and toxic chemicals.
