Startup life is a lonely journey. This is exactly why Startup Boston was created, to bridge the gap between founders and startup employees and to create a community that supports and celebrates each other’s wins.
This is why we’re so excited to celebrate some amazing startups - such as Reggora, Bellen’s More Than Peach Project, Frase, Rendever, Zaar, Pangea.app, and Radian. Let’s check out what they’ve accomplished.

Zaar
Date posted: March 2nd | Company location: Providence, RI
Zaar is simple to use: Students list items for sale, and buyers make offers. Once an item is purchased, the buyer can select a pickup time, and the seller typically leaves the merchandise on their doorstep, ensuring a contact-free exchange. Sellers can also forgo the process altogether by bringing their products to the founders of Zaar, located on the Brown University campus, to sell for them.
