Grabio is a mobile local marketplace that connects buyers and sellers within their local neighborhood. Grabio changes the way people search for and exchange tickets, goods and services by adding elements of mobility, timeliness and social user experience to location-based classifieds. 

Buying or selling tickets right before a game or concert is simplified with Grabio. Launch Grabio at the ball park or amphitheater and explore all the tickets listings nearby. Simply send a message to the seller and connect in person within minutes.

 

Additionally, Grabio aims to innovate how students share and exchange textbooks. While on campus, Grabio enables students to “see” what their peers have to sell, swap, and borrow. Grabio only displays items nearby, thus allowing students on the same or surrounding campuses to connect in person and complete the transaction quickly.

Grabio also introduces an unique feature: Wish List, a real-time search personal assistant. 



You’re a Cubs fan and always interested to buy tickets to season games. Go to your Wish List, enter the keyword “cubs”. Now, move around the city, head over to your workplace or just go to dinner, and Grabio will do the rest. Through an unique algorithm, Grabio will do a real-time search while your app is in the background and will send a push notification if your Yankees tickets are nearby you.



Our vision is to create a safe and social marketplace with a focus on your current location, therefore social sharing is a main component of Grabio. You can share listings on Twitter, Facebook, or via text and email.
