Who We Are
A GROUP OF 3 COLLEGE STUDENTS
During our freshmen year at Texas A&M, we noticed a common issue that other students were having: buying and selling items. Every day the class snapchat story is flooded with posts of tickets, clothes, and even cars that students are trying to sell. This disorganized and ineffective system sparked an idea. A platform for students to connect and buy/sell items to other students on their campus. From an idea to a reality, Finds aims to bring shopping to new heights on college campuses.
College Student Statistics
Every year the cost of college increases and puts even more pressure on students to keep more money in their pockets. Additionally, a staggering amount of students find themselves with a lot of items just sitting around or need to get rid of quickly.

Safety is a pivotal aspect of Finds! In order to protect our users, we are creating a .edu verification in which you must create an account with your school email. We will then verifiy your email and may request a student ID as well. This is to keep the marketplace run by college studnets only for college students.
There are multiple ways that you may be able to receive your order. The vendor is able to select a variety of options from local pickup, dropoff, meet on campus, or shipping through the marketplace. It will be important to communicate together once the item is purchased to find a proper time and place. Don’t ever feel pressured to have to meet up together, either!
