Message the person who runs it. Offer something concrete, a free month or a co hosted pilot, not a vague 'collab'.
Hi, I run a library of things for my street where neighbours lend tools with a small refundable deposit. I would love to run a free four week pilot for your residents. I set everything up. Interested?
Agree a start date, a simple goal and one check in. Set up their space in your app yourself so it is effortless for them.
After the pilot, write one page: what each side does, any revenue split, how either can leave. Both sign or confirm by email. Keep it plain.
Thanks for running the pilot of Library of Things with me. Here is a short summary of what we agreed for the next three months. Could you reply 'agreed' if it matches your understanding, or tell me what to change?
Leave an email and we nudge you at 24 and 72 hours with your next move. Optional.
