Why buy what you can borrow?
With Nide, borrow the things around you for free in just two minutes: a drill, a tent, a projector, a camera, a stroller… Lend out what's gathering dust at home and save on buying and renting.
For a few holes or a quick DIY job, no need to buy one that will just sit in a cupboard afterwards.
Head off camping without buying a rooftop tent.
Three easy steps to get started.
Lend what you rarely use
Add the things gathering dust at home to your local catalogue: tools, sports gear, baby equipment, electronics…
Earn points
Every item you list and every loan to a neighbour earns points you can spend to borrow in turn.
Borrow with no fee per exchange
Use your points to access the things you need for free, close to home or while travelling.
€25 a year. No fees on exchanges.
Nide is built to pay for itself from the very first item you borrow. You only pay the membership when you make your first borrow, then you can borrow and lend across the community with no fee per exchange.
Worth it from your very first borrow
a single €25 item is enough to cover the membership
Most useful things sit idle far more than they get used.
A drill, a tent, a projector or a paddleboard cost a lot for a handful of uses a year. Nide turns those occasional purchases into shared access that's local and far better value.

So what's it actually worth?
See what your share represents depending on Nide's value, from the guaranteed floor all the way to a top contributor.
Based on realistic platform valuation estimates.
Meeting the conditions guarantees a base share; it then increases according to when you join the program and your contribution — up to 1% of Nide for the most active members. Current access is limited to around 50 places to preserve a meaningful allocation for every member.
Illustrative scenario — the value of a share depends on Nide's success and is not guaranteed.
You don't invest money — you contribute, and you take your share of the 10%
These conditions are the minimum to get in. Your final share is then based on two things: when you join and how much you contribute.
- 1List at least 5 items in the catalogue
- 2Invite at least 5 people who join and take part
- 3Borrow at least 5 items through the platform
Join the program.
It takes one minute to make your request. Once the program's three conditions are met, your base share in Nide is guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
Is the share in Nide really guaranteed?
Yes. Every member who meets the program's three conditions receives a guaranteed base share. It can then increase according to when they join the program and their contribution. Its future financial value depends on Nide's success.
Do I need to invest money?
No. The program requires no financial investment. The share is earned by taking part in the network and meeting the three stated conditions.
Does making a request commit me to anything?
No. Your request lets you receive the program details. You then decide freely whether to continue. To receive your share, you simply need to meet the program conditions.
Why is the program limited?
A defined part of Nide's equity is reserved for the founder program. Access is limited to preserve a meaningful allocation for every member.
What happens after my request?
We'll get back to you by email with the program details and next steps. You can then complete your profile and meet the conditions at your own pace.
How is my final share calculated?
A base share is guaranteed once the conditions are met. It can then increase according to when you join the program and your real contribution to the network, up to the stated ceiling.
How is Nide different from renting?
Rental platforms charge on every transaction. Nide runs on points: you earn them by listing and lending your things, and spend them to borrow. You pay once a year, then exchange as much as you like without paying each time.
How does the points system work?
You get points when you sign up, for every item you add and for every loan. Borrowing costs points. The more you keep your things in circulation, the more you can borrow.
Do I have to lend in order to borrow?
No. You start with a points balance, so you can borrow before lending anything. Lending what's gathering dust at home is simply the easiest way to top up your balance.
How much does it cost?
€25 a year, and that's it: no fees on exchanges. A single item borrowed during the year is usually enough to cover the membership.
What if an item is damaged or not returned?
Every loan is protected by a security deposit matched to the item's value, before/after photos, and profiles visible to the community. Optional protection can be added for more sensitive exchanges.
Where can I use Nide?
Availability depends on member density in each area. Add your city to the form and we'll clarify the access available around you.
