Magnolia power mom and serial entrepreneur Natalie Angelillo launched SwopBoard, last week in Seattle. SwopBoard is an online marketplace?where parents can?”buy”, “sell”, “want” and “give back” to their schools?within their trusted community.?They can list items for sale and once those items sell, a percentage (10% minimum) of each transaction goes directly to the sellers school of choice. (From SwopBoard’s website):
SwopBoard?was founded in 2013 by…Angelillo when she needed to sell a large American Girl dollhouse and buy her son ski boots by the end of the week. She was inspired to build a place where users could put items for sale in front of people who actually need them, and donate to their schools in the process.
We talked to the busy mom about her newest “baby.” She says she wanted to come up with?a user-friendly site for people to do good:
I wanted to create a marketplace that was easy.? I thought, “wouldn’t it?be great if while doing something we need to do anyways, we were helping our schools at the same time?”
SwopBoard was rolled out to Our Lady of Fatima school last spring, and has just launched at over 180 schools in 6 states.? Click?here to check it out.? Natalie Angelillo?is also the founder and co-owner of Seattle’s Swink Style Bar.
