Company Description

StoreMe's mission is to be the leader in hourly or daily storage by connecting people who want to store their luggage and bags with retail stores that are willing to provide safe and secure storage. Our goal is to help Customers enjoy their visit to a city and enhance the daily lives of locals. We also want to boost economic activity and vibrancy of local businesses with more foot traffic. Today, people on the go (Customers) are weighed down by their luggage and bags inhibiting their city experience. The problem is Customers in many cities must rely on walking, bikes and public transportation to navigate. There are few places for visitors and residents to drop off their belongings to make their day more manageable. Hence, there is a compelling opportunity in cities for hourly or daily storage in convenient and verified retail stores (Hosts) to hold people’s luggage and bags. Customers win because they benefit from an improved city experience. Businesses win as they monetize unused storage space and also gain increased revenue from additional foot traffic. The solution is a mobile application that provides on-demand hourly or daily storage of Customers' luggage and bags in many retail stores in a city. Similar to on-demand apps, Customers search for a nearby location and simply drop off their luggage and bags. They can reserve space at a StoreMe location, knowing that it will be available when they need it. The business ecosystem includes three components -- Customers, retail stores (Hosts) and delivery. This community provides Customers with a convenient network of retail stores to facilitate storage and delivery across the city and elsewhere.

Valuation

Security Description

A Crowd Note modifies the typical convertible note so that the crowd does not automatically convert to equity shareholders on the next financing and remain off the issuer’s capitalization table, but the crowd will still participate in any exit as if they had converted to equity. If there is no future financing, the holders of the Crowd Note still have upside, but could miss out significantly.
