This leverages social connections to solve the problem of trust in the transaction. With an easy-to-use product, ListUp allows users to reach out to all prospective buyers nearby quickly. Thus, enabling quicker and safer transactions.

The app was officially launched on February 2016. Currently, this platform is free for both buyers and sellers. But, they will soon adopt a revenue model.
