FreeSpot Co. provides a crowd-sharing platform to connect people to free food, clothing, furniture, events and more that would otherwise go to waste. This effectively reduces both the amount of food and toxic waste while supplementing meals and material necessities for communities in need.

HOW IT WORKS

• Post items that you arent using for people in your community to claim on the platform for free.
• Make claims on food, events, furniture and more by opening up a private chat with the items poster.
• Create a Universe that allows you to share with just any selection of friends that you choose on FreeSpot!
• Join in on a campaign created by nonprofits in your area seeking free items to be donated from the communities they support.
• Every item on our feed is categorized using tags to get you connected to what you want even faster.

In places like New York City, over 12,000 TONS of trash are thrown away each DAY!

Cutting down on waste at that scale requires collective action! Our goal is for every couch, bed or item you see as youre passing by on the street, their owners spent two weeks with that same item posted on FreeSpot to ensure they couldnt find it another home before sending it to a landfill.

Its about creating a culture of sharing. Nothing fosters change more than our ability to develop a new set of habits. For us, that meant building our platform around users who are new to waste reduction, and as a result, some of the features you might not catch at first glance.

FEATURES WE DONT WANT YOU TO MISS

• Dont let coupons go to waste! Use our coupon sharing tag!
• Lets be honest, people you meet on the internet can be kinda creepy, we added profiles to make sure that you know more about our users than you would with any of our competitors!
• Invite and add your friends on FreeSpot. We made sure that you can connect with friends because crowd sharing is as much about the public platform as it is about being closer to the people you know.

With a growing community, comes a range of new concerns. For us, it meant protecting people that were most vulnerable. Digital surveillance is a pervasive issue and we kept that top of mind as we penned our Privacy Policy and Terms and Agreements.

USING YOUR DATA RESPONSIBLY
• First and foremost, we do not share information with law enforcement.
• Searches and claims on the platform will be stored and used to improve user experience on the app.
• Location services will be used to serve you more relevant items and campaigns.

• All the functionality of platforms like Craigslist, Freecycle, OLIO, and OfferUp while only using the data that betters your experience on the platform.
