Stop missing deliveries with Swapbox kiosks

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Swapbox, a network of kiosks where users can send and receive packages to avoid missed deliveries and theft. Shoppers ship packages directly to our kiosks, and recipients get notified to pick them up at their convenience. Users can also drop off packages to be shipped from Swapbox without planning ahead. Our product makes receiving and sending packages faster and more reliable for people who miss home deliveries or worry about package theft.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, and the company is based here too.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is our home and the best place to build this logistics and consumer-focused service. The dense population helps pilot and attract users, plus proximity to partners and infrastructure.
