So Bellhop, as you mentioned, is a tech platform for moving and lifting help.
And basically, we sell muscle.
And so can you give me some metrics?
As I'm sure you can relate to, 35 million Americans every year
move themselves.
And that's just a piece like self-storage, a $26 billion industry that's only, you know, attached to moving 50% of the time.
So this, you know, there's like a, you know, between a 40 and $50 billion market out there of people that are just like moving themselves.
Whether that's like moving from one address to another or like taking some stuff into storage.
And the thing is about, obviously, DIY movers, they don't want to move themselves.
Obviously, moving is a horrible situation, as you probably attest to.
But they just don't have any options for hands-free experiences because moving companies are expensive and tough to book and just, frankly, overkill for their needs.
And so what we started Bellhops for was to create a really simple, easy to book, almost like an Uber type platform for moving and lifting help where you can tap into your local, we exclusively contract local athletic college students.
um, that, you know, they're sitting there playing video games and you book a job, need somebody to come help you move a couch upstairs, whatever it may be.
Uh, you know, they get a ping on their phone and say, yep, I want it.
And they claim it on their phone.
You know, everything is, is through the app, the online platform, um, totally paperless.
And is it seamless?
We are, yeah, so right now, across the country, it's at $40 an hour with an hour minimum, and we prorate in five-minute increments.
So you only pay for how long we actually work for you.
And so we're built for these smaller-scale jobs, people with limited needs who don't want to go to a moving company but also don't want to beg their friends to come and help them.
