What does it do?

Sharewood is the Airbnb for outdoor equipment. We let you rent bikes, skiis, surfboards and other quality gear from people nearby. Our mission is to connect people own gear with locals&travellers who need the right equipment.

Why do we need it?

Today, in order to practice plein-air activities, you need a lot of gear and this costs a lot of money. Moreover there are thousands of people who own gear they don’t often use. We offer a win-win solution to them.

Who is it for?

Our service can help people to earn an alternative source of income and can be useful for turists and locals. Especially turists are not able to transport their own gear to another country, unless they pay extrafees on the plane.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

Sharewood is not only about renting the right equipment; Sharewood is about recreational experiences: thanks to our service, you can meet like-minded people, you can request a suggest to a local and you can live new advetures.

What’s next?

Sharewood wants to change outdoor rules. We are working to contribute to a more sustainable future, encouraging people to reuse bikes, skiis, tents and surfboards. People don’t need ownership, they need access.
