The four laws of Webo

A swap should feel simple.

Webo is built on four principles. They guide every screen, every word, and every match the app makes.

1

Make it private.

2

Make it close.

3

Make it fair.

4

Make it easy.

Why we're different

A quiet kind of marketplace.

Every home has a spare tin, a half-used bag, or that extra packet from the bulk shop. Someone nearby needs exactly that — and has something you need in return.

No public feed, ever.

You'll never scroll through strangers' kitchens. Matches happen quietly in the background — you only see them when there's a real, useful fit. No clutter, no comparison shopping.

Matched to your street.

Tell Webo what you have spare and what you'd love to get hold of. We pair you with someone within walking — or short driving — distance. Trades stay neighbourhood-close.

A fair like-for-like trade.

No bidding, no haggling, no money changing hands. Webo suggests trades where both households benefit equally. You give a tin, you get a tin. Simple as that.

Built for every home.

Plain language. Big buttons. No jargon, no bells, no whistles you don't need. Whether it's your first app or your fiftieth, Webo feels familiar from the first tap.

How it works

Three taps to a sorted swap.

Webo does the matchmaking. You just say what you've got, what you'd like, and confirm when you're ready to trade.

Rice — 1 bag

"It's not charity, and it's not shopping. It's just neighbours, helping neighbours, with what's already on the shelf."
— Webo, in a sentence
The founders

Two people, one shared kitchen table.

Webo started with a conversation about how much food sits unused in some pantries — and how much is missing from others. Here's who's building it.
