What Bounce does
Bounce (legal name: Bounce, Inc., formerly Bounce.com) is a San Francisco-headquartered, venture-backed private company founded in 2018/2019 that operates a two-sided marketplace for short-term luggage storage. The platform connects travelers who need temporary bag storage — typically before hotel check-in, after checkout, or during layovers and day trips — with local retail shops, hotels, convenience stores, and locker operators that monetize underutilized physical space. The company reports over 32,000 storage locations across 4,000+ cities in 100+ countries, 3M+ users, and 6M+ bags stored cumulatively.
The product surface centers on a mobile app (iOS/Android) and web platform featuring QR-code-based booking confirmation, real-time location and availability maps, a 10% credit-based loyalty program, $10,000 per-booking bag protection insurance, and free cancellation. Beyond the core marketplace, Bounce has expanded into adjacent offerings including Bounce Delivery (luggage shipping, currently live in Japan and rolling out in Europe) and Bounce for Hotels (a partner program letting hotels monetize storage for guests). Distribution is anchored by native integrations with Airbnb (embedded in Airbnb's Services push) and KDDI (app-based smart lockers at KDDI flagship stores in Japan).
Bounce generates revenue through per-transaction storage fees (starting at $4.95/day, varying by location and bag size) and marketplace commissions split with partner locations. The company has raised approximately $32.2 million in disclosed funding: a $2M seed (2021), a $12M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz (April 2022), and a $19M Series B led by Sapphire Sport (November 2024), with backing from General Catalyst, Lightspeed, Thayer Ventures, FJ Labs, GHARAGE Ventures, and others. In February 2026 Bounce acquired its French competitor Nannybag, and in May 2026 it was named an Airbnb Services launch partner. The company reports 300% YoY revenue growth in 2023 and 20x revenue growth since its 2022 Series A.

Bounce competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Nannybag: French luggage storage marketplace that was Bounce's primary direct competitor before being acquired by Bounce in February 2026. Operated an equivalent app-based model connecting travelers with local shops and hotels for bag storage across 250+ European cities.
- LuggageHero: Direct competitor in the on-demand luggage storage marketplace space, with presence across European and US cities. Operates a similar partner-location model offering short-term bag storage to travelers with comparable per-day pricing.
- CityStasher: UK-based luggage storage marketplace connecting travelers with hotels and shops. Particularly comparable given Bounce's stated UK focus and the 670+ partner locations it has built across British cities.
- StowEasy: Emerging on-demand luggage storage platform competing with Bounce in the partner-location model. Offers similar booking-app experience for short-term bag storage at shops and hotels in major tourist cities.
- Vertoe: Earlier entrant in the short-term luggage storage space, offering hourly and daily bag storage at partner shops. Comparable business model and target customer (leisure and business travelers needing temporary storage).
- Radical Storage: Global luggage storage network operating in a similar model to Bounce with partner shops, hotels, and lockers. Significant European footprint making it a direct competitor in Bounce's densest market.
Broad incumbents
- Airbnb: Bounce's strategic distribution partner and the dominant short-term rental platform. Recently added Bounce as a native Services offering in its 2026 Summer Release; as a much larger incumbent, Airbnb could choose to build competing storage internally if the partnership underperforms.
- Booking.com: Major OTA with hundreds of millions of travelers and deep hotel relationships. Has the scale and traveler audience to launch competing luggage storage as a natural extension of its accommodation offering, posing a long-term threat to Bounce's marketplace.
- Expedia Group: Large online travel platform with global reach across flights, hotels, and activities. Represents a potential competitor or distribution partner in the broader travel services ecosystem where Bounce operates.
Emerging players
- Ecplug: Emerging player in luggage storage and related travel services with overlap in target customers. Represents a smaller but growing threat in specific geographic markets where Bounce is expanding.
