Our company, led by Ashley S. and Mariana S., started right after college with our own cars and a sustainable tiny house built from reclaimed materials, turning a side hustle with car-sharing platforms and house/apartment-sharing into a thriving business. We loved the idea of reusing and sharing our current assets to provide a service for others and to help us start building our own business.

In 2017, we founded the non-profit Si Es Vida Internacional, supporting foundations in Costa Rica where Mariana is from, following our college volunteer experiences. However, relying solely on donations proved challenging without committing full-time to fundraising. This led us to realize the importance of a sustainable business model that not only generates profit but also supports important causes.
