Lendr: Sharing Marketplace

The Problem

Short-term access to everyday items is often inconvenient or unavailable. Travelers and residents alike struggle to find temporary solutions, leading to unnecessary purchases and waste. Launching a new sharing platform posed additional challenges: a tight release schedule, remote collaboration between European developers and U.S. users, and the need to build trust in a market wary of scams.

Life Value created Lendr to connect people who want to lend and rent items safely and easily.
Key features include:

1. Vibrant Community. A strong focus on communication and collaboration encourages lending and borrowing across a wide range of goods.
2. User Verification and Safety. Every member is ID-verified, and a reporting system flags suspicious activity. Secure Stripe payouts ensure trusted transactions.
3. Fast, Flexible Development. Core features were delivered within two months, enabling early market entry and continuous feedback-driven improvements.
4. Scalable Architecture. Built with PHP and Node.js to handle growth while supporting new features and nationwide expansion.
