CONTEXT

1. People like to make benefit from what they possess.

2. There is increasing tendency to experience instead of possess.

3. Being eco-­‐friendly, socially responsible becomes a fashion.

4. Reasonable consumerism in @mes of crisis becomes a real alterna@ve to shopoholism.

CONCEPT

JIM BORROW is a plaQorm that allows two things:

1. Earn money by lending everyday things which users already posess.

2. Spare money by borrowing things from other people, instead of buying them.
