About the project. This is a fictional educational project created to explore Startupium’s capabilities. Idea “Quiet Courtyard” is a mobile service for neighbors in the same building or neighborhood. Users will be able to lend rarely used items, team up for joint purchases, and help one another with small household tasks. Problem Dozens of people live in the same building, but it can be difficult for them to get to know each other safely and arrange mutual assistance. As a result, people buy items for one-time use, while simple issues are handled through scattered chats. Solution A feed of local listings, with categories for “lend,” “give away,” “buy together,” and “help needed”; building address verification without publishing apartment numbers; ratings; and a secure chat. Current stage The idea, target audience, and MVP scope have been defined. The next step is to validate demand through interviews with residents and build an interactive prototype. Goal for the first month Conduct 20 interviews, prepare a prototype, test three key scenarios, and decide whether to run a pilot in one residential complex. Important: this is an educational concept, not an operating business; participants have no financial or other obligations.
