Our one pager is a shortened version of our pitch deck

Welcome to Toolbox, where we’re transforming tool rentals into a community-driven experience. Imagine renovating your home and needing a specialized tool just once. Instead of purchasing it, let Toolbox connect you with neighbors who can rent it to you. It’s a win-win: you complete your project, and they earn some extra cash.

Our Vision

At Toolbox, our goal is to unlock over 1 billion tools hidden away in private garages, basements, and storage closets. Through peer-to-peer lending, we aim to make borrowing tools and equipment effortless. After a year of user and market research, coupled with iterating on a tech demo, we’ve identified key factors for success:

  • Ease of Use
  • Wide Tool Selection
  • Liability Assurance
  • Reliable Fulfillment
  • Building Trust

Why Toolbox?

Renting from Toolbox eliminates the complexities of traditional rentals:

  • Complicated Logistics
  • High Costs
  • Frustrating Processes

Unlike big box stores, Toolbox simplifies the rental process, offering:

  • No High Deposits
  • Flexible Booking
  • Convenient Delivery
  • Well-Maintained Tools

Our Solution

By making tool rental easy and affordable, Toolbox encourages more lenders to share their tools. We’ve already seen strong demand and have begun fulfilling orders. Here’s where we stand:

  • Renter Demand: Our MVP is live, with 1-2 reservations daily since mid-June.
  • Lender Trust: We’re piloting Toolbox as a lender, building a roster of potential lenders, and aiming to reach item density.
