About Go Local
Lisbon has a €350 problem.
The average Lisbon salary is €1,416/month. A realistic cost of living runs to around €1,767. That gap — €350/month — is something most residents quietly navigate every month.
At the same time, those same people have skills they use every day — assembling furniture, teaching guitar, fixing plumbing, walking dogs — that they never monetise. And they own equipment sitting idle in their homes, used less than 10 minutes a month on average.
On the other side: someone needs a shelf installed. They call a tradesperson and pay €50 — minimum call-out fee, travel time, corporate markup. Or they just don't bother.
We fix the connection.
Go Local is a hyperlocal marketplace that connects people who have a skill or an asset with people nearby who need them. No corporate markup. No middleman. Just neighbours, helping each other.
