We Came. We Saw. We Sparkled.
Yes, We Want to Change the World
The growing economic inequalities make it difficult to buy everyday products and services, and the lack of communication results in items in good condition being thrown away out on the streets and businesses closing their doors.
Equal is a social commerce app that aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals, increase the bottom line for businesses, and reduce waste, by creating a global circular-economy marketplace in which everyone gives and takes equally using an innovative digital rewards system.
Equal aims to play an essential part in the everyday lives of the working and middle class while collaborating with the consumer goods and services industry. Our goal is to make it easy, cheap and fun to exchange and purchase new and used resources, and as a result, build a more sustainable economy and contribute to a greener world.
Providing equal access to resources to all humans, Equal aims to minimize the planet’s inequality, so people can not only survive, but thrive and prosper while preserving the environment. The positive impact that our circular-economy network can have in the world is endless.
