Our Story

Trade What You Have. Get What You Need.

We started Trade What You Have because we kept seeing the same thing: garages full of useful items, and neighbours who needed exactly those items — but no easy way to connect them. So we built one.

Mission

Redefining ownership — one trade at a time

The average household owns hundreds of items used fewer than ten times a year. We think that's a design problem, not a human one. Trade What You Have gives those items a second life by connecting people who have with people who need.

No money changes hands. No shipping fees. Just two people agreeing that what one has is exactly what the other wants — and vice versa.

"We don't want to be the biggest marketplace. We want to be the most trusted one."

— Rebecca Lee, Founder

What We Stand For

Our values

Trade, Don't Discard

One person's unused item is another's treasure. We make the exchange frictionless.

Trust by Design

Verified profiles, transparent trade histories, and community ratings keep every deal honest.

Community First

We're building neighbourhoods where people know each other by what they share, not what they own.

Lower Footprint

Every trade is one less item manufactured, shipped, and eventually landfilled.
