Student Helper Marketplace

A hyper-local labour marketplace connecting local residents with verified college students for everyday tasks is now available for purchase. This platform enables residents to hire trustworthy students for services including moving help, tutoring, cleaning, tech support and event assistance. Already established in Boston with nearly 600 registered users (including approximately 300 verified college students), the marketplace features comprehensive phone verification for all users, creating a significantly safer alternative to traditional classified advertising platforms.

The platform addresses a critical need in the student employment market. With over 40% of college students across the United States struggling to find flexible part-time work that accommodates their academic commitments, this service offers the perfect solution. Students gain access to short, paid tasks that fit around their studies, whilst local residents benefit from hiring reliable helpers with verifiable campus connections rather than anonymous individuals from general classifieds sites.

While most universities operate their own job boards, these systems tend to be fragmented and outdated. This platform unifies and modernises the concept of a community jobs board, focusing exclusively on verified students and local residents. The comprehensive package includes:

• Fully functional web and mobile applications
• Established user base in the Boston area
• Robust growth tools for expansion
• Complete verification systems
• Intuitive user interface for both task-posters and student helpers

The business model has been proven in Boston and shows significant potential for rapid expansion to additional campuses and cities nationwide. With university towns across the country facing similar challenges-students needing flexible work and residents needing trustworthy help-the opportunity for scaling is substantial.

The platform's verification system provides a competitive advantage over general-purpose marketplaces, creating a trusted community where users feel secure hiring or working. This increased trust translates to higher engagement and retention rates among both students and residents.

For potential investors or buyers, this represents an opportunity to acquire a functioning marketplace with demonstrated traction, addressing clear needs on both sides of the platform. The technology infrastructure is already built, tested and operational, significantly reducing the development costs and time typically associated with launching such a service.

This is an ideal acquisition for entrepreneurs interested in the gig economy, student employment sector, or community-based marketplaces. The foundation is established, with clear pathways for geographic expansion, service diversification, and potential partnerships with educational institutions.

The asking price is $49,000, representing excellent value for a functioning two-sided marketplace with proven user acquisition and a clear path to growth.
