13715149262?profile=RESIZE_710xSkillSwap is a platform where people can exchange skills instead of money. Unlike traditional learning apps where you pay instructors, SkillSwap lets users trade their expertise in one area for learning another.

For example:

  • A graphic designer can teach Photoshop to a musician in exchange for guitar lessons.

  • A coder can teach Python to a chef in exchange for cooking classes.

  • A student can get spoken English practice by teaching math to another student.

This creates a barter-based knowledge economy where learning is affordable, personalized, and community-driven.

Problem It Solves

  1. High cost of quality learning.

  2. Many skilled individuals lack formal teaching platforms.

  3. People often want to learn casually without enrolling in expensive courses.

  4. Skill-sharing fosters community and real connections.

Key Features

  • AI Matchmaking: Pairs users with complementary skills.

  • Credits System: If no direct swap is possible, users earn credits by teaching, which they can use later to learn from others.

  • Verification & Ratings: Ensures quality and safety.

  • Gamification: Badges and levels for active contributors.

Business Model

  • Freemium: Basic swapping is free.

  • Premium Subscription: Advanced filters, AI tutor matching, ad-free experience.

  • Corporate Plans: Team skill-sharing inside companies to save on training costs.

Why It’s Unique

Unlike Coursera or Udemy, SkillSwap doesn’t depend on money-based courses. Instead, it creates a global knowledge-sharing ecosystem, accessible even to those who can’t afford paid courses.
