Business model
Free to start. Sustainable later.
Core buyer access stays free in every phase.
1Pilot
Free for everyone
Maximise adoption and liquidity: more requests, more offers.
2Growth
Optional seller promotion
Hub businesses can pay for labelled visibility on discovery surfaces.
3Scale
Selected sponsorships
A few student-relevant institutional sponsors and ad placements.
Liquidity strategy
Start with a concentrated group of verified sellers in a few high-frequency categories - food, design and tutoring - so early requests get answered quickly. In production, matching sellers are notified as soon as a relevant request is posted.
