One Stop Swap Explores School Fundraising as a Community-Based Growth Strategy

Published

on

By

With more than 3,400 preregistrations ahead of its planned 2027 launch, the marketplace is exploring school partnerships as a way to support communities while building a potentially lower-cost customer acquisition model.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Los Angeles-based One Stop Swap, Inc., a peer-to-peer marketplace preparing for a 2027 launch, is exploring a community-based growth strategy that could help schools raise money while introducing hundreds of families to its buying, selling and swapping platform.

The idea originated in conversations between Co-Founder Stephen Bikoff and his wife, a first-grade teacher. Their discussions about traditional school fundraising sparked a simple question: What if families could support their schools by selling things they already own instead of being asked to buy more?

“Talking with my wife about school fundraising made me realize how much value families have sitting unused in their homes,” said Bikoff. “Why not explore a way to turn those items into money for schools while introducing families to something they can continue using long after the fundraiser ends?”

One School. Hundreds of Potential Members.

Under the proposed program, schools and parent organizations could invite families, educators, alumni and neighbors to participate in online resale campaigns, with sellers choosing to donate a portion of their proceeds.

For One Stop Swap, the opportunity extends beyond fundraising. A single school partnership could introduce hundreds of households to the marketplace, potentially generating new members, merchandise listings, transactions and referrals.

Rather than relying exclusively on paid advertising, the company wants to test whether trusted community relationships can provide a more cost-effective, repeatable way to attract and retain members.

Potential pilot programs would measure customer acquisition costs, registrations, listings, completed transactions, donations and repeat activity. If successful, the model could expand to youth sports leagues, nonprofit organizations and other community groups.

“We want to build a company where doing something good for a community also makes good business sense,” Bikoff added. “If we can help schools raise money while building lasting relationships with new members, that’s worth exploring.”

Early Interest Ahead of Launch

One Stop Swap reports more than 3,400 preregistrations ahead of its planned 2027 launch.

The company is limiting its Founding Member program to the first 5,000 eligible participants, who will receive six months without buyer or seller platform fees starting at launch, subject to program terms.

Following the introductory period, the planned standard marketplace fee structure is 3% for buyers and 3% for sellers.

The early registration program is intended to help establish an initial community of buyers and sellers before the marketplace opens.

Building Beyond Traditional Resale

One Stop Swap is developing a single platform for buying, selling and direct item-for-item swapping of pre-owned goods.

The company’s longer-term roadmap includes plans to introduce live shopping after its second year of operation, creating more interactive ways for members to discover merchandise and connect with one another.

Together, these initiatives reflect a broader strategy focused on attracting members, expanding available inventory, encouraging repeat transactions and building long-term engagement.

The school fundraising concept remains under evaluation. No school partners, pilot dates or fundraising terms have been finalized, and the company has not yet validated the proposed program’s customer acquisition economics.

About One Stop Swap

One Stop Swap, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based technology company developing a U.S. peer-to-peer marketplace that combines buying, selling and direct swapping of pre-owned goods. The company is led by CEO Eric Jepsky, a technology executive with more than 25 years of experience spanning eBay, PayPal and other leading technology companies. As Co-Founder and COO of Beem, Jepsky helped grow the fintech platform to more than five million downloads. One Stop Swap is focused on affordability, community participation and new approaches to secondhand commerce.

Complementing this technology experience are two distinctive lifestyle elements: n_x, Infinix’s locally developed coffee brand, and the signature robotic-arm installation. At n_x, a simple coffee break becomes an invitation to slow down, recharge and enjoy a laid-back moment amid a busy day. Whether catching up with friends or taking a moment for oneself, even an everyday cup of coffee can bring a little unexpected delight. Together, these elements introduce a more relaxed and imaginative side of technology into the space.

The “X” opens up further possibilities through gaming, music, sports, creative partnerships, interactive content and community-driven activities. By introducing new ideas and collaborations over time, Infinix envisions a space that continues to surprise and inspire, offering fresh experiences and new ways for people to connect with the brand.

Keeping the Experience Fresh Through Co-Creation

Rather than simply featuring established names or one-off partnerships, Infinix hopes to work with artists, musicians and other creative talents to develop original content and experiences. People can also take part through shared experiences, content creation and feedback, becoming active participants rather than passive audiences.

Designed to evolve beyond its opening, the store aims to introduce new collaborations, creative displays and lifestyle activities over time. This ongoing renewal can give people fresh reasons to return while allowing the space to become a source of new ideas, stories and connections between Infinix and its community.
