Commerce is evolving.
Back to what it always was.

Before apps. Before money. Before strangers became the norm — humans helped each other. Your neighbour fixed your fence. You watched their kids. Skills flowed where they were needed.

Shoho doesn't reinvent this. We simply remove the barriers that modern life created. The awkwardness of asking. The difficulty of finding. The friction of coordinating.

What remains is beautifully simple: you need something, someone nearby can help, and they genuinely want to.

"The person setting up your TV isn't just completing a task. They're traveling to you, choosing to help. That's the feeling we protect."

Simple by Design

Three moments.
That's all it takes.

No algorithms gaming your attention. No complicated profiles. Just clear paths between people who need and people who give.

01

Share what you need

Describe your task in plain words. Need help moving a couch? Setting up a printer? Learning to cook a dish? Just say it.

02

Meet your helper

See who's nearby and willing. Read their story. Understand why they help. Choose someone who feels right — not just rated highest.

03

Connect & complete

Coordinate directly. Meet in person. Exchange what was promised — whether that's payment, barter, or simply gratitude.

Why Shoho Feels Different

Not another
task marketplace

Traditional Platforms

  • Optimized for transactions per minute
  • Ratings that reduce humans to numbers
  • Race to the bottom on pricing
  • Helper is invisible until needed
  • Platform takes significant cut
  • Strangers remain strangers

The Shoho Way

  • Optimized for meaningful connections
  • Stories that reveal the person behind the skill
  • Fair value — sometimes money, sometimes not
  • Helpers are neighbours you haven't met yet
  • Most value stays between people
  • Today's help becomes tomorrow's friendship
Real Stories

Help that became
something more

He came to fix my boiler. We ended up talking for an hour about his journey from Syria. I learned more about resilience that day than any book could teach.

I was just helping someone set up their home office. Now I'm mentoring their daughter who wants to get into tech. This is how communities actually work.

Raj J.

Birmingham

After my husband passed, I needed help with the garden he loved. The young man who came didn't just do the work — he asked about every plant and learned their stories.

Airbnb made sharing homes normal.
Uber made sharing rides everyday.

Shoho is making helping each other the most natural thing in the world again. Not charity. Not gig work. Just the fundamental human truth that we're stronger together — expressed through an app that gets out of the way.
