No money changes hands. No platform taking a cut. Your time is the currency — equal for everyone on earth.
A short, reflective onboarding surfaces what you can already teach — framed as real, unmet needs in the community. It beats the most common barrier: not believing your knowledge is worth sharing.
We don't just match on availability — we match on the skill-level gap that makes learning stick. The right challenge at the right moment, calibrated around flow-state research.
Meet over built-in video — no third-party tools. An AI lesson plan helps every session land. When you both confirm it happened, the TimeCredit transfers. Then you rate each other.
The platform takes zero cut on the exchange. One hour taught = one hour learned — for everyone, everywhere.
A look inside the app — live in beta at app.timebank.academy.
TimeBank isn't a pitch deck. The product is in beta, worldwide, with the full loop running end to end — and an AI layer doing the heavy lifting.
Live video, AI onboarding, AI session assistants, and AI verification of whether a session truly happened. Only in the last couple of years did running a trusted, global, human-to-human exchange become this affordable.
We start in Antwerp and Brussels — among the most diverse cities on earth. Hundreds of languages and professions within a few square kilometres: the ideal dense, cross-cultural proving ground for a skill exchange.
The product already runs on every continent. We're letting it spread the way trust actually spreads — person to person — which keeps acquisition cost near zero while the network thickens.
We make money from what the network produces — never from the people in it.
No fees for learners or teachers, no cut of the exchange, no premium tier. Everyone gets +5 TimeCredits a month to keep the loop turning. The app stays free — that's the point.
Companies, schools and networks run their own branded skill exchange on our rails — turning hidden internal expertise into peer learning that scales. Recurring B2B, with natural land-and-expand.
Aggregated, anonymised maps of how skills move through a population — for public bodies shaping workforce policy and the platforms matching people to work. We never sell personal data.
Credential sites know what people claim. We know what they've demonstrably taught and learned — peer-confirmed, AI-verified, in real time, across skills, languages and places. Every session makes it richer. That's the moat, and it's what makes both revenue lines defensible.
A few hours with the right practitioner can move a career further than a whole course — and put a job within reach. Students learn from people who actually do the work; newcomers get a faster route in. That's the value, and it's borderless.
We've shipped the product. This raise turns a working beta into a thriving, defensible network.
End-to-end exchange, in-app video, AI onboarding, lesson plans and verification, four languages, safety and gamification — in beta, worldwide.
Concentrate the word-of-mouth flywheel in our home cities, harden the infrastructure (video, database, hosting, AI agents), and prove that learners become teachers.
Launch branded exchanges for organisations, and the first aggregated, anonymised skill-graph pilots with public and workforce partners.
Grow city by city, deepen the skill graph, and build the impact reporting that unlocks non-dilutive EU funding alongside revenue.
Whether you want to start teaching today, invest, or partner with us — this is where it starts.
