Peer-to-peer textbook marketplace
BookBridge
Students find, buy and sell textbooks nearby, with escrow-protected payments and seller ratings.
Why we built it
After his GCE exams, our founder had a pile of textbooks he no longer needed and no way to reach the students who did.
The books existed and the students existed. The missing piece was trust: a safe way to find each other, agree on a price and pay.
