Yesterday I met with Kylee Ingram who has developed Team Tap, a mobile app that 
lets spectators at sports and other events raise funds by competing to achieve the
largest number of taps or bumps on their mobile phones.

The team with the most taps secures the larger share of the funding available. At
sports matches this is usually provided by a corporate sponsor, but Team Tap can
work at any event.

The taps cost users, or 'players' nothing as the funding has already been provided
by a sponsor or individual. However, charities do receive the players' name and 
email address, if they opt in, so can develop a relationship with participants.

The [Team Tap](http://www.teamtap.com.au/) app, which has already been launched 
in Australia, includes social and gamification elements, such as leaderboards, to
encourage players to raise the most. 

Ingram worked in sports TV and has run her own documentary company for 10 years.
She is meeting with UK charities and commercial partners and also plans to launch
it in the USA.
