We launched on Product Hunt in 2019 as the #1 product of the day and have grown to more than 2000 cities worldwide since. We're backed by top-tier investors in Silicon Valley and pride ourselves on being a scrappy team that moves really fast. *Inspiration* The founder, Cody, has lived in 15 cities and traveled to 60+ countries. We know how annoying it is when your things drag you down. *Lightbulb Moment* A few years ago, I was getting drinks with co-workers after work on a Friday. A friend said he’d join but had to go all the way out of the way to drop his work bag at home. I thought―"what a waste of time; there's got to be a better way.” *Problem* People spend so much time planning their days (and their lives) around the things that they own. The status quo when you land in a new city is to go straight to the airport just to drop your stuff off, even if it doesn’t make sense otherwise. *Solution* Tapping into local hotels and shops, we can open up storage space nearly everywhere in a city. Open the Bounce app and find a safe and secure place to leave your things (delivery back to where you’ll be later coming soon!). *Key Features*: 24/7 storage locations Secured and insured Easy pricing: $6 / day 24/7 customer support Get to know your local shops!
