Peer-to-peer lending · starts in your neighborhood

Someone has what you need and wants to lend it.

The ladder, the spoke wrench, the pressure washer you buy once and use twice. Lend out what's gathering dust, and let a neighbor discover you had it all along.

No account needed to borrow · Free, and staying that way.

How it starts

Start small - just a thing or two.

ONE

Add what's gathering dust

Take a picture. It gets added, tagged, and filed. Offer up the one or two things you'd happily lend.

TWO

Share with someone

Send a code to a friend or a neighbor and they're in your circle. Their people can come in too, so it widens one introduction at a time.

THREE

The app remembers, so you don't have to

You buy the thing once and use it twice. When that second time comes a year later, Stash remembers who you lent it to - no "hey, do you still have my ladder?" guessing texts.

What it looks like

Your garage, filed like a library.

Real screens, not mockups: the tour, adding an item, and what a borrower sees.

How it grows

You decide who's in it.

Stash isn't open to the whole internet. It starts with the people you'd already open your door for, and it widens by introduction: friends, then friends of friends. The person coming to pick up your ladder always got vouched in by someone you trust, so they're never a stranger.

Everybody adds a thing or two. What you end up with is a collection of stuff, and people, you can actually lean on.

The obvious question

"What if my ladder comes back broken?"

Fair - it's the first thing everyone asks. So the trust machinery is built into the loan itself, not bolted on afterward.

Condition photos

Photos on both ends

Snap a photo when it goes out and another when it comes back. The app compares the two on-device and flags "looks different" before you close the loan.

Vouched in

No strangers

The person picking it up got the link from you, or got vouched in by someone you trust. Your ladder never wanders outside the circle.

Due dates

Nudges, not awkward texts

Set a return date when you lend. If it slips, send a one-tap nudge - the reminder comes from the app, not from you.

If it goes wrong

A record, not a shrug

Damage or loss gets reported right on the loan, with photos and a note. You see it, you decide what happens next - and the paper trail is there.

Portland, and wherever you are next

Stop buying. Start sharing.

Put out a thing or two this weekend. Be the reason your neighborhood starts sharing.
