| We believe in access over ownership. Our lives remain cluttered with underutilized items, and our curiosity and openness to novelties remain unfulfilled due to constraints of ownership. Currently, the sheer number of options for using new technologies is mind-blowing – and yet, through ownership users limit themselves to specific products. Also,the modern lifestyle makes ownership troublesome through frequent mobility and scarcity of storage space. People are also looking for a possibility to reconcile the appetite for consumption with environmental concerns. With Plenti, users’ openness to innovation is exponentially increased at a low price. Highly mobile people could maintain access to favorite devices wherever they are. Why buy things when you can have easy, cheap and quick access to them anytime and anywhere you want? | $5.2M / Seed / Feb 09, 2023 | ||
