Overview
Bounce provides an app-based luggage storage network that connects travelers with local businesses with unused space, like hotels, cafes, and shops. Travelers search for storage in the Bounce app, select dates and items to store, and book a nearby location; payments are online at a flat daily rate, with up to $10,000 of protection and security tags for stored items. The model is asset-light: Bounce partners with existing venues to monetize underutilized space, creating new revenue streams for partners and enabling low-fixed-cost growth. It differentiates itself with a large, global network (over 35,000 locations in 4,000+ cities), strong security, and a scalable platform that makes on-demand luggage storage convenient for travelers. The goal is to give people freedom from carrying belongings by providing portable luggage storage wherever they go.”}
