Stash: The Shop in Your Building

About this event

It's 9pm and you need washing powder. Someone three floors up has a spare one, and neither of you knows it. Stash is a neighbourhood sharing app. Hosts list sealed, in-date packaged goods, and neighbours browse, order and collect them. A host can stay visible only to their own building or block, which people join with an invite code, or open up to buyers within a few kilometres. Their exact address stays private until a buyer has an active order. Payment is handled directly between host and buyer, and Stash takes no payments. This week we pressure-test it together. We'll dig into: • Why would anyone become a host, and what would make you trust one? • Is one apartment building enough to start a marketplace? • Where are the safety and compliance traps when neighbours sell packaged goods? • How do you make money when you don't touch the payment? How the hour runs: • 4:30 sharp: the idea and the riskiest assumptions • 4:40: live walkthrough of Stash as a host and as a buyer • 4:55: you try it and tear it apart • 5:15: what would you change, and how would you apply this to your own idea? Especially useful if you live in an apartment or student housing, or you're working out how to launch in one tiny community first. No technical background needed. Bring a laptop or phone.
