Messy roommates? BoBo is a mobile application that helps roommates communicate and manage chores to simply the coliving experience.
Imagine coming home after a long day of work to a pile of dirty dishes, an overflowing trash can, and dirty toilet stains left by your roommates. For our digital generation, the awkwardness of confronting your roommates often outweighs the inconvenience of the mess itself. Our survey revealed that an overwhelming 81% (308 out of 382) of UT students reported experiencing roommate-related issues, primarily due to roommates failing to complete their assigned chores (255 respondents).
We took our app the the heart of the market, at the UT Austin campus, where we sold espiropapas (swirly fried potato on a stick) to engage with students and get feedback of our app. We were able to each out to more than 5000 students while gathering a list of 721 preregustrations WHILE earning a revenue of $1,700+ through this operation.
We were able to raise $12,000 in non-dilutional funding so far and our team of 21 students is actively working to refine our product market fit.
