How LoopHood's Circular Economy Works
LoopHood isn't just a marketplace - we're building a complete circular economy platform where every transaction creates value that flows back to your community.
Our Solution: The LoopHood Circular Economy!
We're building a complete circular economy platform! The marketplace is just one part of our infrastructure that keeps value flowing in your community.
Circular Economy Infrastructure
The marketplace connects neighbors, but it's the Loop Points system that creates the circular flow of value for small businesses and our users!
Loop Points System
Every transaction earns Loop Points, creating a local currency that keeps wealth in you. (It's like Groupon, buying deals with points instead of money!)
Loop Store
Redeem your Loop Points for exclusive local deals, supporting neighborhood businesses.
OfferGo™
Local delivery network that's part of the circular flow. (future)
Loop Spots
Physical presence in local businesses, completing the circle.
2Court™ Disputes
Community governance for our circular economy. (future)
The Problem We're Solving
Ever feel like it's tough to get things done, or that there's a lot of wasted potential in your neighborhood? We see it too:
Stuff Just Sits There
People have skills, tools, or extra stuff that could be super helpful, but no easy way to connect.
Hidden Fees & Hassle
Most online platforms charge crazy fees, making small local exchanges not worth it. Plus, they can be a pain to use.
Who Can You Trust?
It's hard to know who you're dealing with online. People worry about safety when exchanging services or goods with strangers.
Too Many Apps, Too Much Inflation
We're all tired of a million apps for everything, and with prices going up, people want smart, affordable ways to connect and get things done.
Missing Out on Opportunities
Lots of folks – like busy parents, students, or retirees get left out of the traditional gig economy, even though they have so much to offer locally.
Financial Stress:
61% of American adults are living paycheck to paycheck, leaving no room for emergencies or unexpected expenses while creating constant financial anxiety.
