Divvy is a place to share stuff. Divvy builds community.
Your Divvy profile looks like this:
It has information about you, the stuff that you’re willing to share with your friends or other people in your community, and a list of stuff that you’d like to borrow from people nearby.
Your stuff gets its own profile, too; it looks like this:
Perhaps you want to borrow something because you can’t afford to buy it, or have the space to store it. Or maybe you just want to reduce your carbon footprint by consuming less. Or maybe you’re not sure what kind of bicycle you want to buy, so you’d like to try a few out before you take the plunge. If you were to search for a bicycle in Divvy, it would look like this:
You could then decide which bicycle you’d like to borrow based on how far you’d have to travel to borrow it, or based on what you think of the owner’s profile. Once you find the right bicycle, you can write to the owner and arrange to use it. And while you wait for a response, you dig around and see what you find:
Find stuff. Meet People. Save the Planet. Do you Divvy?
