Barta
Bringing the Human Connection and Simplicity of Bartering Back Home
The Simple Truth
Commerce doesn't need to be complicated. Bartering—direct exchange between people—has worked for centuries because it's simple: you have something, someone wants it, you meet, you exchange. Technology should make that easier, not harder.
What We're Doing
Barta brings bartering back to your neighborhood. Connect with neighbors. Browse what's available nearby. Meet in person. Exchange directly. No shipping. No hidden fees. No complexity—just people trading with people, like it's always been.
Why It Works
