Create your profile
Say who you are and which circles you belong to: your building, your block, your team, your family.
People around you have more than you think.
A drill, a tent, a projector, a camera. Things that fit in a backpack or in the back of a car, sitting unused four blocks from your door. Haves shows what people have and what they are after, inside the circles you already belong to.

The problem
Good things sit idle.
A drill used twice. A tent from a trip in 2019. The projector, the camera, the tool kit, the camping stove, the books already read.
Meanwhile someone four blocks away needs exactly that this weekend — and buys a new one, or gives up.
The inventory already exists. What's missing is a way to see it.

The idea
Make it visible.
Two simple things: what you have, and what you want. Put them where the people you already know can see them, and a network that was always there starts working.

What people have
What people are looking for
The two pieces
Two words, one shift.
A have
Something you own and aren't using.
Not a listing and not a price. Just a thing that exists, sits still most of the year, and could be useful to someone you know.

A want
Something you're looking for.
For an afternoon or for good. Saying it out loud is most of the problem solved, because someone nearby is usually holding it.

Say what you want
Add what you're looking for. Other people's haves stop being noise and start being answers.
Hey! Is the drill still around?
Yes — come by whenever.

Talk to each other
When something matches, you just talk. Real people who are already connected. Nobody in the middle.
Still open
What happens next is up to you.
Some things get lent. Some get given away. Some get swapped, some get sold, and plenty just get borrowed for an afternoon and come back on Monday. We are not deciding that for you. We start by making what's there possible to see.

More use
Things that already exist go back into circulation instead of sitting still.
Closer circles
A reason to knock on a door you walk past every day.
Less waste
The most sustainable object is the one nobody had to make.
Real value
What was dead weight in a closet turns into something worth having.
Just getting started
Let's start with your block.
We're building the first version now. There is nothing to use yet — for the moment this is an idea taking shape, and a small group of people looking at it.
Questions
The short answers.
A way to see the useful things that already exist around you. People add what they have and aren't using, and what they're looking for. Inside a circle of people who know each other, that turns into a shared inventory that nobody had to buy.
Not only, and not necessarily. Selling is one of the ways an object can move, along with lending, giving, swapping and borrowing. We're deliberately not locking that down yet. The first thing worth solving is visibility.
The circles you choose. Haves is built around networks of people who already have some relationship — a building, a block, a club, a family, a group of friends — not an open marketplace facing the whole internet.
Anything you own that sits unused most of the year and that someone could carry off on a bike, in a car or under one arm. Tools, camping gear, cameras, sports kit, kitchen machines, kids' things, books, instruments.
There's nothing to charge for yet. We're building the first version and putting it in the hands of a small group of people to learn from how they actually use it.
Soon, and in small groups first. Right now we are showing it to a handful of people and listening to what they say.
