Who are you & what is your role in the company?

Hello, we are Tina and Max Engelhardt, the founders of ShareHappyStuff. We have been married for over 10 years and are parents of three children.

How do you explain to your grandma what you are doing?

Grandma, imagine there's an app that allows you to share things you rarely use with others. For example, if your neighbor needs a lawn mower and you have one, you can borrow it via our app. This saves everyone money and space, and things are put to better use. And the best thing is, you can even earn money with it.

How do you make the world a little bit better?

We promote the sharing and reuse of items, which reduces the need for new purchases and thus conserves resources. Our app makes it as easy as possible to borrow everyday items. This saves people money and space and at the same time makes better use of things. Our platform also strengthens the community by bringing people together who can help each other.

Rent out and bag benefits

If you've read this far and still aren't convinced about Share Happy Stuff - then these arguments are sure to bring you to the happy side:

✅ You can earn money by renting out your unused items
✅ Instead of these items gathering dust in the cupboard, you can put them back into circulation and help others who need them
✅ You save money by renting the items you need cheaply instead of buying expensive new ones
✅ You conserve resources and reduce waste by helping to use existing products
✅ Plus, damage, loss and theft are covered by a deposit paid by the renter - so you don't have to worry about anything

The process is child's play: register on the app, create an advertisement for your belongings with photos and a description, and set the rental conditions. Interested tenants can then submit a request and you agree a handover date. After successful use, the item is returned and the deposit is released. It's that easy to become part of a sustainable and money-saving community. NICE!

Working to live or living to work?

For us, it's all about balance. We believe that our work should be meaningful and fulfilling while leaving enough room for life. Our ShareHappyStuff project aims to make life easier and more sustainable, both for us and for our users.

What anecdote do you like to tell about yourselves and your team?

One of our youngest team members, our 9-year-old daughter 😉, once asked if she could borrow a Halloween costume via our app. That was a wonderful moment because it showed that even children understand the simplicity and usefulness of our idea.

How did you come up with the idea?

The idea came about when we were looking for ways to improve our household budget. With three children, this was often necessary! On a trip to Leipzig, we were discussing how we could afford a new suitcase for a family vacation and came up with the idea of borrowing one from a neighbor. That's how ShareHappyStuff was born.

Why do we need you?

Nowadays, many people no longer want to own things, but only use them when they need them. Our app makes borrowing everyday items easy, safe and inexpensive. In this way, we support a sustainable lifestyle and make everyday life easier.
