“Can Bounce become the global go-to luggage storage marketplace by connecting travelers with local partner stores in cities worldwide?”
Originally founded in 2014 as Metro Bikes, a dockless two-wheeler rental service in Bangalore, the company rebranded to Bounce and expanded aggressively across Indian cities, reaching 120,000+ daily rides and partnering with 250,000+ stores. The current Bounce (bounce.com) appears to be a luggage storage marketplace—a distinct, later-stage product pivot—connecting travelers with local shops and hotels that store bags, with Stripe as its payment processor. The Indian scooter rental and the luggage-storage platform share the same brand name but are likely separate entities or a significant pivot.
Bounce processes payments through Stripe.
Bounce is founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco, CA, USA (originally Bangalore, India).
Bounce has raised $194M+ in total (latest round: Series D, January 2020; valuation: $500M+ (2020)).
