Abstract

‘The Platform Collective’ is the first student campaign which encourages startups to develop their businesses by connecting and collaboration with other businesses. Its aim was to help startups to become sustainable by finding solutions to the challenges they face, through bartering with other startups. This could lead to collaborations, propelling them to find innovative ways to grow and sustain their businesses. The Platform Collective does this by being an online intermediary that curates the community of startups. The startups were mostly started by young people under the age of 30, and matches individual startups’ barters.
