Чем занимается Yumbin

Yumbins are mobile POS-powered self-checkout markets that offer a curated mix of the highest quality and healthiest snacks, beverages and essentials to office employees. Think of us as the Square for self-checkout meets on-site mini-Whole Foods. Vending is a stagnant $43 billion industry that has suffered from expensive proprietary hardware, onerous payment acceptance and limited (often wildly unhealthy) selection. We replace this hardware with lightweight software that enables customized product selection and seamless checkout. Offices no longer need to sully their breakrooms with unsightly machines selling stale snacks; rather, they can enjoy the clean and minimal retail look of our Yumbins chock full of delicious products. Initially, we are targeting workplaces where employees pay for snacks, which are the large majority of corporate offices and manufacturing facilities. 1.2M of these sites fall into our target market, of which roughly 50% have vending machines today.

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

We built a mobile POS-powered self-checkout market called Yumbin that replaces traditional vending machines in offices. Instead of old hardware, users pick snacks and essentials from stylish, mini-market setups and check out with their phones. This lets companies ditch clunky vending machines and offer better, healthier snacks with no payment hassle.

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

We live in San Francisco and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us close to tech talent, office customers, and payment technology partners. It's where we work and where our target customers operate.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Yumbin в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Yumbin (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Yumbin представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
