Revenue model

1. Service Fee from Partner Organizations: Jet-Set Offset acts as a fundraising platform for environmental nonprofits. Partner organizations pay a 3% service fee to cover operational costs. The service fee is charged to the organization, not the donor. The company is committed to ensuring no more than 1% of donations go to Jet-Set Offset after operational costs.

Core offering

Jet-Set Offset operates a mileage-based donation platform that automatically donates one cent per mile flown to vetted 501c3 environmental nonprofit organizations, providing a donation-based alternative to traditional carbon offset purchases. The platform uses Gmail OAuth email scanning to detect flight confirmations and calculate donations automatically, serving both individual frequent flyers through a self-serve web product and corporate clients via a SAP Concur integration under the Jet-Set Offset for Business brand.

Product overview

Jet-Set Offset operates as a dual offering: a consumer-facing mileage-based donation platform enabling individuals to automatically donate one cent per mile to environmental nonprofits when they fly, and a business tier (Jet-Set Offset for Business) integrated with SAP Concur that helps companies meet corporate sustainability goals through employee travel offsetting programs.
