Generation Z is said to be the most disruptive group in modern history. Lockerz’ mission is to be the homepage for Generation Z: a platform for expression where members are rewarded for doing what they love to do online. Lockerz rewards are earned in the form of PTZ® (points), which members receive when they upload photos, watch videos, shop in the Lockerz online store, or even just log in. Lockerz PTZ can then be used to drive down the prices of merchandise such as fashion and electronics. 

Why Gen Z? Lockerz’ founder and CEO, Kathy Savitt, believes that Gen Zs are the future consumers, philanthropists, and business and political leaders who will most significantly change how the rest of the world lives.

They are different from Gen Y in very important ways.

• More Gen Zs carry a mobile phone than a wallet. Increasingly their phones are their wallets.

• Individualism, not conformity. Gen Z bring the iPod approach to the mall.

• One-to-many communication is more common than one-to-one. Gen Z is all about sharing. • This group needs to achieve, especially online. Their world is increasingly game-ified.

• Thought leadership is not a function of age or experience. Instead of waiting for ideas to filter through generations, Gen Zs are tastemakers in their own right, often before they are out of elementary school.

If Lockerz achieves its goals, it will eventually become the central hub for connecting, sharing, influencing, entertaining, and shopping among this incredibly powerful group. By many measures, Lockerz has made remarkable progress so far. In just two years, Lockerz has become a place where more than 45 million 13 to 30 year-olds visit every month. Lockerz members have shared billions of photos, earned more than two billion PTZ, and watched half a billion videos.
