Problem Description

As we get more connected online today, we get disconnected from our community in real life. Hence, we created Scratchbac, a resource sharing platform that aims to connect people to their immediate communities. Users can request and offer resources to their neighbours through the application, making it easy to seek help and share resources, especially in trying times like the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I FEEL SO LOVED TODAY! BY A STRANGER
I left my charger at work and I’ll be WFH the next 2 days. I didn’t want to travel 3hr to and fro just to pick up the charger. So I tried out @scratchbac_sg. 

And someone responded! 
And she stayed in the next block!"

Platform Performance

 

Scratchbac has seen considerable growth with more than 48k signups and more than 20k users in the first 24 weeks of its inception. We have a 53% growth rate with more than 100 posts per day at our peak, and a fulfilment rate of 45%. This means that almost 1 in 2 posts will get a response and engagement.
