A Canadian-transplant, I have lived in five European countries including my favourite: the Netherlands. Since then, I have lived in Berlin for the last few years where I pursued a long-time dream of building Jaspr Trades (https://jasprtrades.com), a platform for the cash-free exchange of goods and services. Swapping has never been done well, and armed with a clever technology and an amazing team, we have built a platform helping over 10.000 Berliners swap everything from math tutoring to smartphones to music classes, cash-free.

We are now bringing the platform to the Netherlands where we think the combination of openness, friendliness, trust, and high population density is a perfect match for the help-and-be-helped community we foster.
