Who we are
Parents First. Builders Always.
We’re three New York parents, 2 moms and 1 dad, who were tired of overpriced gear, wasteful buying cycles, and the safety worries that come with selling online. So we built the solution we couldn’t find.
We’re building more than a marketplace. We’re building the infrastructure for local mom economies, where trust, sustainability, and community come first.
With experience in finance, tech, and global operations - from Wall Street to successful startups, we created Little Swaps - a platform created by parents, for parents.
Join us as we reimagine how families buy and sell - with heart.

The Little Swaps Motherhood Manifesto
Motherhood is a community sport.
But somewhere along the way, the places where moms gathered became chaotic, unsafe, unorganized, and overwhelming.
We were sold marketplaces without trust. Groups without support. Apps without soul.
We lost the village - and replaced it with inboxes full of strangers.
Little Swaps was built to change that.
We believe:
That motherhood deserves a home.
That every mom deserves safety.
That community should feel local, warm, and real.
That buying and selling kids’ items shouldn’t feel risky.
That ISO needs should be met by moms who understand.
That mom-owned businesses should shine.
That events shouldn’t live in a hundred different apps.
That Circles help us feel seen, understood, supported.
That the smallest acts - a swap, a suggestion, an ISO reply - can make motherhood lighter.
Little Swaps is more than a marketplace.
It’s a movement. A movement back to community. Back to connection.
Back to supporting each other in the everyday moments that matter.
Welcome home, mama.
We’re building this village together.

Growing the Local Mom Economy
Every swap, recommendation, and local partnership strengthens the parent-to-parent economy we’re building.
Families are already using Little Swaps to safely rehome items, support local businesses, and connect through trusted neighborhood exchange.
We’re just getting started, with Swap Spots, Mom-Owned Business Directory, and community swap events expanding this ecosystem city by city.
Thank you for being part of it 🤍
