About Marty

Building the world's safest, most accessible local Marty — one community at a time.

Our Mission

Marty exists to empower communities through safe, simple, and transparent local commerce. We believe neighbors should be able to buy, sell, trade, and connect without fear of scams, fraud, or harmful content. Our platform combines powerful AI-driven safety tools with a user-first design philosophy to create a Marty you can trust.

What Makes Us Different

Safety First, Always

Every listing is automatically screened for scams, fraud, and harmful content using Azure AI. We flag suspicious patterns, verify high-risk categories, and remove dangerous posts before they can cause harm.

Community-Driven

Your reports matter. Our moderation team reviews flagged content within hours, and we continuously improve our detection systems based on real community feedback.

Privacy Respected

We never sell your data. Contact info stays hidden until you choose to share it. Our messaging system lets you communicate safely without exposing personal details.

Accessible to All

Our platform is built to WCAG 2.1 standards, ensuring everyone can navigate, post, and search regardless of ability. Simple design, keyboard-friendly navigation, and screen-reader support.

Our Values

  • Transparency — You deserve to know how moderation works, what data we collect, and why.
  • Inclusivity — All legal categories are welcome. We moderate content, not communities.
  • Innovation — We invest in cutting-edge AI to stay ahead of scammers and bad actors.
  • Accountability — When we make mistakes, we own them and fix them quickly.
