Inspiration
Currently, there economic insecurity is at an all time high. Income capital is short. But we have so many people that are talented and can offer their skills in exchange for other skills, which can save them money for their families food, rent etc. Skillz is the platform to solve this problem.
What it does
Skillz is a networking platform that allows people to trade skills for skills through a method called bartering. It is completely free. People can trade legal services (for example to prevent against eviction which is issue now with Covid) in exchange for help launching a business website (for people who lost their job and need to start an online business).Skillz solves multiple problems at once, free of charge.
How I built it
This app was built a couple years ago but it was not fully developed until now —and still needs more enhancements. I am the CEO and this app can help now more than ever.
Challenges I ran into
Finding out about hackathon too late.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Submitting this in time and relaunching Skillz because it is needed now more than ever.
What I learned
There is a strong community of people who care to solve these issues via tech.
What's next for Skillz - A global solution for resource poor communities.
Continue to refine app over next couple weeks and relaunch ASAP while Covid still lingers.
