Challenge	UpSpot, a rental marketplace app, was founded with the aim of helping people rent and lend their belongings. The challenge was to create a platform that could facilitate this process in a seamless and efficient manner. The founders wanted to create a system that was as easy to use as posting an ad on Craigslist, but with the added functionality of setting hourly, daily, and monthly rates for the items being rented. The goal was to create a platform that could connect customers and help them discover new products and ignite new passions. However, the technical complexity of building such a platform was a significant challenge, especially considering the need for automated email and push notifications alerts. Read More
About Customer	UpSpot's customers are individuals who are looking to rent or lend their belongings. This could range from a camera, drone, or PlayStation, to any other item that one might need for a short period of time. The platform is designed to connect these individuals and facilitate their interactions, making it easier for them to rent and lend items. The customers are likely to be tech-savvy individuals who are comfortable with using online platforms for transactions. They are also likely to be individuals who value sustainability and are open to the idea of sharing and borrowing items rather than buying new ones. Read More
Solution	The solution came in the form of Bubble, a no-code platform. Bubble was chosen because it was able to highlight and tie all of the skills that the founders had acquired along the way. The platform was built to connect and facilitate interactions between users with automated email and push notifications alerts, much like Airbnb and the car rental service Turo. Lenders could set an hourly, daily, and monthly rate, and renters could then look up the item and choose a start and end time for the rental. The use of Bubble allowed the founders to leverage their technical knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit to create a platform that was both functional and user-friendly.
