Founders

Founder

I'm the founder of GiveAway, a peer-to-peer marketplace that lets people pass on unwanted items through a unique internal coin and auction system. Designed to make giving more rewarding, GiveAway helps users declutter sustainably while earning coins they can use to bid on items from others—creating a circular, cashless exchange built on community and reuse.
