Skout Deals was an Austin-based company, founded in 2014 by Mark Porter and Bryan Payne, who also served as the company's CEO. The firm entered the market as an app-based platform focused on the discovery of local deals.
The business operated a mobile application that allowed consumers to find and redeem offers from nearby merchants spanning sectors like restaurants, bars, and retail. The platform was designed to provide a centralized and convenient way for users to save money without clipping coupons or searching multiple websites. Key features of the application included the ability to filter deals by category, distance to the merchant, discount percentage, and expiration date. A notable component was a savings tracker that enabled users to monitor their accumulated savings over time. Merchants, from small local shops to large North American retailers, were able to update their discounts and offers on a daily basis.
Skout Deals targeted consumers looking for local savings and provided businesses with a channel to attract nearby customers. The company's direct competitors included established players in the deal discovery space such as RetailMeNot and LivingSocial. Despite its efforts, the company did not secure any external funding rounds and is now considered a deadpooled entity.
