Get to know us

"When I was a young boy growing up in Northern California, I would go with my mother on her thrifting adventures, exploring flea markets, thrift shops and yard sales. The experience always felt less like shopping and more like a treasure hunt. Every item had a story, every find was unique. The exhilaration of unearthing a hidden gem, that dopamine rush of discovering something rare among the commonplace; it was pure magic. It's this joy of treasure hunting from my early days, seeing value in the overlooked, that ignited the spark for Swapsies App."

People and culture

Founded in Texas in October 2023 by five technical entrepreneurs, our company sprang from a simple yet innovative idea discussed over a Zoom call. United in ownership and vision, we're a tight-knit team dedicated to creating a novel shopping experience. Our work culture thrives on collaboration, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to our goals.

We're passionate about bringing the concept of barter into the modern era. Believing in its benefits for both people and the planet, we're focused on building a user-friendly platform that makes trading goods easy and accessible. Our vision is to make barter a practical and popular choice for everyday transactions, driven by the idea that it can positively impact both individual lives and the environment.
