Company
Fetch
Marketplace for self-service truck rental
We built a marketplace where people can find and rent trucks nearby instantly on their phones. Instead of renting from large traditional companies with long lines and reservation hassles, users can unlock trucks right from the app in their own neighborhoods at lower cost.
We live and are based in Atlanta, GA, and Fetch will continue to be Atlanta-based after YC.
Atlanta has a lower cost of living and untapped logistics demand compared to traditional hubs. We also live here and have connections to help build locally first.
