11. BACK UP

12. Blocbox connects neighbors that don’t have enough [time at home, space, …] to
neighbors that have surplus [time at home, space, … ]
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE UNDERUTILIZED ASSETS
PROBLEM SOLUTION
I’m at the office during the day
and can’t get my packages
But I have extra storage space
And I wish I knew my neighbors.
I work at home so its easy to get
lots of packages
But I’m running out of closet
space
And I wish I knew my neighbors.

14. The “Host” Model is Socially Responsible and Economically Efficient
NEIGHBORHOODS AS MICRO-ECONOMIES
• Source of Income in a Tough Job Market
• Minimizes Overhead and Infrastructure Requirements
• Outsources Marketing – Hosts have incentive to proselytize
• Passive Income – Big Payoff For Little Effort
• Revitalizing Neighborhoods – Hosts are Neighborhood “Hub”
• Great Opportunity for Several Demographics:
• Retired People
• Teleworkers/freelancers
• Stay at Home Parents
• Unemployed/ Between Jobs
