New designers win The Hague 4!
2021-11-28 - News

Congratulations to New Designers, the winner of #HackathonforGood #TheHague4!
The challenge they worked on was combating horizontal fraud and their focus was on the problem of student housing scamming. What was their concept behind? This is what they said:
“"Hello! We are TrustHousing — the first student housing scamming detection and prevention system.
We help international students who, due to lack of experience and knowledge of the Dutch housing market, are easy targets for scammers. The product is a browser extension and website service all powered by our own TrustMark™ algorithm. The algorithm detects red flags in online conversations and housing ads. Our platform also offers a guide into the Dutch housing market and a safe place to close the deal with landlords. Students now have an expert that is always inside their device to help them safely find a home in the Netherlands."
We at Hackathon for Good love what they came up with and hope they will continue with their solution!
