    Meeting people now on Trustroots

    You can now meet people on Trustroots even if you don’t need hosting or cannot host. This is probably the biggest change in Trustroots since our launch two years ago! As our community is already 27,000 members strong, we wanted to make Trustroots useful not only for those who can host or who are travelling. Our mission […]

  • Trustroots goes invitation only

    Trustroots goes invitation only

    From today, new members can only join Trustroots by invitation. Why? Trustroots is growing, we’ve just passed 25’000 members. We recently issued our first member ban. Until now Trustroots has been focused around the hitchhiking community. As we grow, we want to manage the transition to a wider audience carefully. Right now we simply don’t have the features to […]

    Introducing Trustroots Tribes*

    Today we’re introducing Trustroots Tribes*. A Tribe* is a group of people on Trustroots with similar interests. How do you build a trust network that can scale up when it grows bigger? This question has occupied our minds for a long time. This started long before we actually founded Trustroots, when working on and using similar networks. […]

Foundation

Owned and operated by Trustroots Foundation, a non-profit registered in the United Kingdom since March 2015.

Team

Trustroots is being built by a small team of activists who felt that the world of sharing is being taken over by corporations trying to monetize people’s willingness to help each other. Same team brought you also Hitchwiki, Trashwiki and Nomadwiki.

Meet the team

Free and open source

We think it’s a shame that former non-profits have been sold to venture capital. We’ve been running other notable free and open projects for a decade now, and we hope our deeds so far speak for us.
