why i built it

how do you build a sustainable business, home, studio or life? you learn all the different parts of it from someone who has done it before you.

EcoMatch is where you find that person: a consultant for exactly your project, someone who has built it, on a video call of fifteen minutes or an hour. they set their consulting rate, or give the hour away.

a design sprint run by Saba Khalid: the business plan, the personas, every line in the prototype, the pitch and video scripts, the deck · sebastopol, california · 2023 · built in 2026

the business

EcoMatch keeps 20% of every paid call; the expert sets the rate and keeps 80%. extensions are billed by the minute at the same split. volunteer calls are free and bring experts, reviews and seekers onto the platform. no ads and nothing else for sale: the house rules forbid selling products, so the only thing on the market is an hour of someone's experience.

impact

63% of americans say they could do more for the environment but lack the information. EcoMatch closes that gap one call at a time: a lawn into food, a roof into power, a kitchen onto less. every call is rated on environmental impact by both sides, so the platform measures what it changes, hour by hour.
