The Shelf.ca
Chad Heron and Kyle Seaman

The Shelf.ca intends to develop products for university student unions that enable them to develop better student body engagement by helping students connect, share, and collaborate. The initial product is an online textbook exchange designed to eliminate the “Books for Sale” notes that have cluttered university bulletin boards forever. This exchange simplifies the process of listing and finding books for sale and integrates Amazon.ca to source books not available second-hand. Revenue is generated through Amazon affiliate sales and licensing to student unions, so that the Shelf.ca provides the book exchange to students at no cost to buyer or seller.
