What It Is

A trade exchange built exclusively for the TiE Tampa Bay community

Barterfy gives TiE Tampa Bay its own branded marketplace where members exchange the things they have, such as services, products, expertise, meeting space, and sponsorships, for the things they want, without cash changing hands.

◆

Members-Only Marketplace

A private exchange restricted to verified TiE Tampa Bay Students, Associate, Scale Up and Charter Members. It's searchable and browsable like a marketplace, but built for trade.

✧

AI Have & Want Matching

Barterfy's AI agent reads what each member has to offer and what they're looking for, then proactively surfaces high-fit trade matches across the network. No manual searching required.

▮

Tap-to-Pay Trade Card

Every member gets a TiE Tampa Bay cobranded Barterfy Trade Card, so trade dollars earned on the exchange can be spent anywhere Barterfy trade is accepted, with a simple tap.
