In our latest real estate tech entrepreneur interview, we’re speaking with Jeremy Jennings from Jabbrrbox. They build and sell “The modern phone booth”.
This video by NBR provides some further color:
Without further ado…
What do you do?
We provide privacy on demand in loud and busy environments. Our mission is to empower people through enabled space.
What that means is … where do you go during that “in between time”? The time between meetings when you are in a city? The time between security and your plane in an airport or even that time before of after your meeting in a visiting office building? Our goal was to create a solution that would meet the demands of the mobile population and workforce.
Our focus is on airports are continuing to expand in a variety of open and semi-public spaces including building lobbies, hospitality, conference and more transit hubs throughout 2018 and 2019.
What problem does your product/service solve?
Technology has facilitated mobility and the ability to work/live/play when, where and how we want. The physical build environment has not responded with an efficient and technology enabled response. JabbrrX has.
When I was getting off a train, I received a text that I was needed to jump on a conference call in 20 minutes w multiple decision makers in regards to a large deal I had been working on. I jumped into a Starbucks and it was super loud, music pumping and coffee machine grinding. I jumped into a building lobby and was quickly asked to leave from security. I ended up taking the call walking around a local NYC pharmacy ‘Duane Reade’ pretending to look at merchandise and waiving away sales people while I consulted on a multi million dollar project. I needed my own personal space at that moment.
What are you most excited about right now?
The social proof of how our pilot launches at LGA airport and Chicago Merchandise Mart has literally made a difference in people’s daily routine and improved their experience in these environments. It’s a blank canvas right now with a lot of low hanging fruit.
What’s next for you?
Activating locations in airports, building lobbys, hospitality and beyond .. creating a global ecosystem of connected on demand and reservable spaces in loud and busy environments. This means as a member you have access to all of these locations in semi-public environments to be more; more efficient + happy = productive.
What’s a cause you’re passionate about and why?
Betterment. I believe that every day you can be better than you were the day before. I also believe that people just need a chance to pick themselves up and break the cycles of circumstance and victimization. Poverty and homelessness in our country is a travesty; in particular children born into this situation is near to heart and our mission is rooted in betterment.
