Summary

Avanti, an app created by college student Alex Fantappiè, aims to bridge the gap between high school students' need for money and the lack of opportunities to get connected with gig-type jobs. The app allows users to hire local, qualified high school students for tasks such as tutoring, dog walking, and car washing, providing a safe and affordable marketplace for neighbors to connect. With Bubble's no-code platform, Fantappiè was able to create the app quickly and efficiently, launching it in two zip codes in Los Angeles with over 40 student helpers onboarded within under three months. The app's success lies in its ability to match users with local students, making connections easier and more accessible. As for future plans, Avanti aims to increase customer acquisition and expand beyond Southern California.
