Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?
My name is Cody Candee, and I’m the CEO and co-founder of Bounce. My background is in product management – I started my career as a PM for a large tech company, Intuit, before moving on to more entrepreneurial roles.
I started Bounce a bit over a year ago with my co-founder Aleksander Rendtlsev. Bounce is a short term storage marketplace; open our app and find a place to leave your things anywhere in the city. People use Bounce to store luggage, backpacks, gym bags, and nearly anything else you could imagine. You may have seen “train station lockers” in European or Asian cities – we’re a similar offering but we operate by partnering with local hotels and businesses that have extra space.
We were recently the #1 product of the day on Product Hunt after launching our mobile apps. However, we have been live as a web platform for over a year now. We started in New York City and have been deemed the “Best Luggage Storage Provider in NYC.” Next, we expanded to San Francisco and have by far the most locations for luggage storage in SF as well. We’re in several other cities as well now too.
