Tired of sketchy Facebook Marketplace deals, steep resale fees, and chaotic group chats? Drexel student, Prashastha Nirwan, saw the problem and built a smarter solution.

Built by a Dragon, for Dragons
Buzzi’s creator, Prashastha Nirwan, is going for his bachelor’s degree in computer science. As a current Drexel student, he saw firsthand how complicated and unsafe it can feel to sell and buy college supplies online. With the help of Drexel’s vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, he was able to bring his idea to life!
