have|need

Barter for the connected worldBarter is the original form of commerce, but there currently isn’t a reliable platform for people to securely and efficiently trade goods and services. Enter have|need: barter for the connected world.have|need is a mobile app-based marketplace that matches the haves and needs of a limitless number of participants. have|need negates the primary friction point of bartering – the “double coincidence of wants” – by algorithmically generating Barter Loops™ consisting of multiple parties, thereby expanding the number of potential barter options by orders of magnitude. have|need is designed around a for-profit, transactional business model with the intent to deliver positive impact (personal, societal and environmental) on a global scale.have|need allows users to trade for goods and services based on the relative value of their own goods and services. Unlike un-scalable barter systems of the past, have|need’s patented technology connects the haves and needs of a limitless number of people via multi-person Barter Loops™. Users determine the fairness of the proposed trades and which ones they accept. We enable bartering via the public have|need network, as well as Group Loops™ which are private barter groups administered by authorized group admins. have|need also enables users to list items they are willing to give away for free while letting those users determine the recipient.Among users in developing economies, have|need has the potential to level the playing field for people that lack access to traditional currency or banking institutions, or are suffering from the effects of hyperinflation.Ultimately, have|need provides an efficient way for users to barter for goods and services, recirculate goods and services back into their communities and provide charitable relief to those who need it.
