Why TRUZH

Buying and selling is just the beginning.

We rebuilt the second-hand experience around something marketplaces forgot: real community. Here is what makes TRUZH different.

Community-first

Every trade begins inside a verified circle - your workplace, your university, your neighborhood.

Instant local deals

No couriers. No packaging. No waiting. Arrange a meetup and close the deal in minutes.

Built on real trust

Verified identities, in-app chat, and moderation tools. Your personal data stays yours.

Sustainable design

Every exchange keeps an item out of landfill and cuts the carbon cost of shipping.

How it works

Simple. Local. Trusted.

Five steps between you and your next trade.

01

Join your community

Sign up with your university or workplace email to unlock your private community marketplace.

02

Post your item

Upload clear photos, write an honest description, and set your price. The whole process takes under two minutes.

03

Connect directly

Chat in-app with interested buyers. No phone numbers shared, no external platforms needed.

04

Exchange locally

Meet at a campus café, an office lobby, or any public spot you choose. Hand to hand. Done.

05

Go public when ready

If your item has not sold within your community, expand its visibility to the public marketplace with a single tap.

A better way to trade, by the numbers

TRUZH founding story — a university campus full of reusable items
Founded in Valencia

Born at Universitat Politècnica de València

Our story

From a simple observation to a trusted marketplace

TRUZH was founded after a simple observation: companies, universities, and workplaces are full of perfectly usable items - books, electronics, furniture, bicycles - sitting unused because there is no easy, trusted way to pass them on.

The solution was equally simple: a marketplace built around real community membership, where the first layer of trust already exists before any transaction begins.

Today, TRUZH is growing across academic institutions and professional environments, helping people trade locally while building a more sustainable and connected future.
