the pitch
At FuelRod, what we believe to be a trailblazer in mobile device charging, we’ve pioneered a patented kiosk network for swapping portable chargers on the go. Our mission is straightforward: to provide people with portable power and the convenience to instantly swap (exchange) for a fully charged one. Whether you’re at an airport, theme park, college campus, convention center, or hospital, FuelRod has your mobile charging needs covered!
We’re in the business of sustainability too, and we're proud to say that FuelRod is committed to eco-friendly practices. Our users have the option to recycle our rods, reducing waste and leaving a positive impact on the environment. Our business model combines innovation, convenience, and sustainability, making us a compelling opportunity at the forefront of a rapidly evolving world.
The Problem & Our Solution
The modern world is powered by our smart or mobile devices, but they often run out of power when we need them most. FuelRod understands this frustration, and it is our mission to keep people connected and worry-free. We've created a rechargeable and swappable portable charging system that is as convenient as it is eco-friendly.
FuelRod's revenue model is driven by the sales of the FuelRod starter kit and the swap fees at the kiosks thereafter. Customers can purchase the complete FuelRod kit, including essential cables and adaptors for device charging, both at kiosks and online. The hallmark of FuelRod is its rapid and seamless exchange system, allowing customers to swap depleted units for fully charged ones at any nationwide kiosk in seconds.
FuelRod's recurring swapability generates steady income through service fees ranging from $1 to $3 per swap (depending on location). Expanding beyond kiosk-centered revenue, FuelRod is diversifying sales channels via on-line marketplaces. We believe this accessibility positions FuelRod as an attractive opportunity in the dynamic mobile charging industry.
The Market & Our Traction
FuelRod enters a thriving market with lots of momentum and room for expansion. With 11 international technology patents, we're addressing a multi-billion-dollar Total Addressable Market (TAM) for portable chargers. The Global Portable Charger (Power Bank) Market was valued at $10.49 billion in 2022, expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2023 to 2030, reaching an expected value of $27.52 billion by 2030 (Source). Despite generating approximately $52 million in current lifetime revenue, our market share remains under 1% — driving our unique "Swappable Power" proposition.
We take pride in our network of over 500 SwapBox™ Kiosks operational across the United States, spanning over 50 U.S. international airports, 30 major theme parks, and numerous other high-traffic locations, including convention centers, hotels, colleges, and hospitals. Our partnerships and placements within iconic destinations such as multiple theme parks, further represent our wide market reach and scalability. Recognized as one of the Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies, we've also secured $2 million from a venture capital firm. Our thriving presence on Amazon, an impressive YoY growth rate of 337% from 2021 to 2022, the success of our affiliate program, and endorsements from passionate influencers highlight our commitment to long-term success.
Why Invest
In the short term, FuelRod is focused on enhancing customer service and ensuring the availability and reliability of our kiosks, all aimed at keeping our valued customers satisfied with our current lineup. Our mid to long-term goals involve the development of a cutting-edge second-generation product and an ambitious kiosk expansion strategy.
Looking forward, we envision FuelRod kiosks becoming as ubiquitous as ATMs, with nationwide coverage. With a dedicated, strategic, and determined team, we're not seeking the easy path; we're creating a solid one. We invite you to be a part of this electrifying future.
