Lalatoys is a new startup, building a sharing economy retail service for children’s toys. The concept is simple: you sign up and pick the toys you want to play with. Whenever the toy becomes needless for your child, send it back and get something else.
Billions of dollars are put into the children's toy market yearly, and of these, millions of unwanted toys are send to landfills every year. What is even worse is that a high amount of children's toys are produced from non-biodegradable plastic. By swapping instead of shopping, we can let our children play in a more eco-friendly way.
We are currently in the progress of building the platform. The platform and its features are essential for us to be a scalable business and require our deepest attention at the moment.
The idea started, when I, Dinesan, became father for the first time last year. We bought a lot of toys for our daughter (and still do), but in the end it showed that most of the toys our daughter didn't play with after a very short period - it was quite frustrating that we spend money of something, we either would loose money on reselling and would pile up together with the rest-
Currently we are three people in the team:
Dinesan Rasiah (Founder - CEO)
Christian Nielsen Henriksen (Co-founder CTO)
Thanusaan Rasiah (Developer)
