Rentipid

Rentipid is an online marketplace for Peer-to-Peer rentals. It allows owners of any stuff to share their items to the community of Renters. Members of the online community can rent items that they will use only for a short period of time. Rentipid provides opportunity for owners to earn additional income from the items they don't use much and can be shared to the community for rent. It also helps renters or borrowers to save money because of lower cost of renting items for short period usage instead of buying them for the full price. Rentipid leverages the social networks to connect people with things for rent and would want to rent items. Rentipid promotes trust within the community of Owners and Renters.You can visit www.rentipid.com for more details and be connected in our FB Page (facebook.com/rentipid) for the news on our upcoming beta launch. We are excited to be part of this challenge and envision to scale up our product to other parts of the world.

Thanks for your question Tomás! One of the main uncertainties/challenge with this idea is on building of trust within the community. We understand that there are different cultural/social differences when this is scaled up to different regions/locations and that is something we need to work on, test and learn approaches to build trust within the Owner and Renter communities. Our starting point for this is leveraging the existing social networks/connections

For the first months of pilot version, we are thinking to test the following and identify best results we can continue to build on trust in a low income community. These are on top of the main idea that our main leverage is via the existing social networks in the community:

#1 - 1. Activate social/community involvement by gathering feedback on “renting experience” and this involves questions related to actual (percentage) savings on the renting experience, success stories on earnings from renting, good/bad experience on borrowing and meeting new people. We can publish this on the platform or be featured so that the community can see how people who early engaged into the platform have experienced on financial (saving and earning), security and overall experience.

#2- We can feature a list of items for rent that is widely used by the community and this can provide ideas on (a) what are the items for rent that provides more savings to low income community based on the current experiences and (b) what are the items shared to the community that produces more income to the owners so owners can see/find value on things they own that they can share for a profit

#3 - Tap existing groups (e.g. groups of campers, groups for cars, groups for photography) and make them part of the renting community leveraging their networks that may already have borrowing/renting activities and also has existing trust within the community

#4 - Tap reputable rental companies and provide them options to lower their premium subscription cost or make it free for a period of time by lowering the rental fee on their items when rented via Rentipid.com. This can be a test for the first months but can be continued to be a partnership with rental companies to lower their rental fees if they will publish via rentipid.com
