Go Halfsy
Find Your Perfect Co-Owner
Posted Thursday, January 8, 2015
Go Halfsy is a community marketplace where people can list and discover items to co-own with someone else. We want to make it easy for people to own the things they love, affordably and efficiently. From designer bags to magazine subscriptions to sporting equipment to vacation homes, there's a world of stuff that sits underutilized for most of its life. In the new sharing economy, there's a great opportunity to help people: 1. Lower the cost of ownership (one can co-own an item with someone else, eg sharing the purchase of a $600 golf set with a friend) 2. Expand the affordability of high-value items (one can afford things one otherwise wouldn't be able to, eg getting $2M vacation home by splitting the purchase among a few friends) 3. Eliminate the hassles of renting/re-selling (for some folks renting may work just fine, for others, co-owning simplifies life) We're working on building a high-trust, community-centric product that will make people comfortable with going halfsies!
