Jupe raises $9.5m seed from Initialized to make housing more accessible
- wizwit999 5y agoLack of technical founder red flag, man's is pitching a tent to vcs lol.
- geverett 5y agoJupe makes flat packed housing that is 30x cheaper to build and 15x cheaper to transport than the standard room. Disclosure: I joined the team after being an advisor.
- LinuxBender 5y agoLooks interesting. It appears to be missing bear bags for food. Are customers taught how to survive in the woods or is it expected they already have camping/hiking experience? Will there be a version for cold weather and high altitudes, maybe with a thicker or different material? Have you also thought about accessories like thermal water bags that could be suspended above the Jupe to provide a shower or drinking water with some pass-through interface? It looks easier to set up than a Yurt but more heavy duty than a WWII style military tent. Is there a time lapse video of people setting one up from start to finish without video cuts/edits?
- pontifier 5y agoI just bought approximately 70 empty parcels in a small town in Arkansas. If the city will allow them, I'd love to put a few there. To me that is the main obstacle. Not land, not money, it's zoning.
