| What problem are you solving? | Nowadays, more and more people are shopping online, particularly people living in urban areas who do not have time or access to large shopping centers. Many urban dwellers also don’t own cars – making it difficult to carry things home from a large shopping trip. Online shopping makes your life significantly easier saving a ton of time, but getting packages for many people is a big headache: stolen packages, missed delivery stickers or having things shipped to work. Doorman solves all these problems by bringing customers their packages whenever they want in the evening 7 days a week. |
| What is your solution? | Doorman has reimagined package delivery for e-commerce by perfecting the most important moment of shopping: when you actually get your stuff.Schedule home delivery of your online purchases until midnight, 7 days a week, same day or weeks away. We give customers a new shipping address to use whenever they shop online, and once their packages arrive at our depot, customers use the Doorman app to schedule delivery to their front door until midnight, in convenient 1-hour windows, 7 days a week. |
| Target Market | Consumers |
| How will you make money? | $3.99 per package fee, $19 per month for unlimited pacakge deliveries in 2-hour windows under the Silver plan, $29 per month for unlimited pacakge deliveries & returns in 1-hour windows under the Gold plan |
