Our current business allows us the flexibility to easily ship things (at least nationally!), so today I'd love to start an additional experiment where anyone in the US (all 50 states - need to limit exposure first, sorry!) can borrow any of the books listed on the sheet, free of charge. We’ll keep track of updates for rentals+returns as time goes on, but we truly believe that we needed to continually invest more and more in the future for both our team, and our company, first by allocating capital to this idea, and then allowing it time to grow on it’s own. If this project and/or experiment(s) are a failure, then the worst case scenario is we have lots of interesting books to read, that lots of people would be happy taking home, so all would not be lost.
We can’t promise anything at this point other than what we just shared with everyone. We would very much appreciate any help or ideas that anyone might have to help us move forward, or could help with what we’re trying to accomplish. We’ll continually re-evaluate the future, based on the variables that we currently have, and then re-adjust accordingly, but this offer is available until I/we state otherwise.
The technology for what we’re trying to accomplish is still very basic, and I’d love to see it continually improve with time, to remove any friction in the process. We see no end to our investment in books, or the future, so unless this gets too huge, then we’re fine. But if it does get huge, then that just presents other opportunities (assuming we could fund it until that point!).
