Glovo is a mobile application operating in Spain since March 2015 that allows customers to outsource their daily errands to one of our delivery people in order to make life less cumbersome. Users can send or obtain any product in less than 60 minutes. The app connects users with independent couriers called glovers that acquire products from any restaurant, laundry or store in the city and also deliver urgent packages. In other words, Glovo is the new personal assistant available to everyone! Once the order is made, the user can interact with the glover assigned and follow his GPS position in real time. We developed a payment system that is easy and convenient – the client simply enters his credit card details when registering for the app and only gets charged once the product arrives at his doorsteps. In less than 8 months, we have launched in three Spanish cities and are already planning our international expansion. Get to know more about us at glovoapp.com

Bounce operates a platform that enables luggage storage and package pickup worldwide. We are building the future Operating System for brick-and-mortar businesses, helping them earn more money with their space while simultaneously building consumer products that users love. Over 1,000,000 people have used Bounce to store their luggage while traveling. 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!
