In theory, when we say we trust someone, it means we can totally let them do things for us and not only that, but also, we might as well do something for them, in return. This process of ‘give-and-take’ is generally known as ‘bartering’. Bartering in old days was limited to exchanging of things between known individuals who were ‘trust-worthy’.  

These days, everything is forced to be placed on the internet, in the form of websites and apps in order to have them accessible from everywhere around the world and so having an online noticeboard where you could barter things with people you could trust sounds totally viable! The concept of this kind of trade is called ‘Collaborative Consumption’. This calls for an online ‘social bartering network’!  Think about it, what if somebody gave you a clean, secure platform on the internet to upload your needs, tell what you can give in return, and have somebody from your trusted network fulfill them for you? Awesome, right? We have brought forward just the place for you where you can barter things with the people from your university network. HelpBuddy is the first ever ‘social bartering’ platform based on Collaborative Consumption for university campuses from across the globe. It encompasses all kinds of trade including sharing, swapping, renting access, bartering, time-sharing as well as buying and selling all rolled into one!

Since the idea of ‘Social Bartering’ is constituted on the basics of developing ‘trust’ and exchanging things within a circumference of not necessarily the people you personally know, because they can be from another department at your university and you have never met with or seen them, but the ones who can definitely be trusted, our main focus are the university students who are looking for help or they need something and they can achieve it by giving a product or a service equally valuable to another student in return.

So, to sum it all up, what HelpBuddy offers you is a unique platform over the internet which allows you to barter easily in a circle of people you can trust!

..Oh and it’s worth a mention that as you know we’re already at the universities; very soon we’re coming to you with even more functionalities. We are expanding to other important networks as well. That way, you will be able to reach out to a greater group of people with your HelpBuddy account. The second, rejuvenated version of HelpBuddy is on its way to surprise you with its new features! :)
