Meet Swidjit

We are on a mission to do some extraordinary things. You can learn all about the whats, hows, wheres and whys of our exciting plans right here!

our product and vision

Post-it

You can think of Swidjit as a virtual community center that can provide you with unprecedented access to local goods, services, events, information and people. It is a public hub to connect you to your city, neighborhood or dorm and make it easy to engage in commerce, collaboration and communication with others around you.

how we'll do it

Post-it

We will build this vision by mashing together the web's best social, collaborative and organizational tools into a central community platform. This technology will allow users to share, discover and organize local resources in ways never before possible.

why it matters

Post-it

We are a social enterprise working to mitigate climate change by facilitating a more equitable and resourceful socity. We believe that building connected, collaborative communities will go a long way towards minimizing our carbon footprint and reducing economic inequality.

where it's happening
