The easiest way to explain Open Shed is…
Open Shed is a peer-to-peer rental and social connection platform. Open Shed helps create social connections within communities, through facilitating the sharing of their “stuff”.

The idea started when…
I was listening to TED talks while catching up on filing in my old job. Rachel’s Sydney TEDx talk was the first time I had heard the term collaborative consumption. I thought “stuff” sharing totally made sense for someone like me that was living in an inner city apartment. But I couldn’t find an Australian site with the trust and safety features that I thought were needed, so I convinced my partner Duncan (a software developer) to help me build it!
