2. Evolution of our Value
Proposition
Day 1:
Our customers need the ability to access
a wide variety of luxury apparel without
spending an arm and a leg or killing the
environment via a peer-to-peer clothing
rental platform.
Day 5:
Our customers need the ability to rent ski
gear at an affordable price. They also
need the ability to rent their ski gear out
when not in use, or store it outside of
their apartment / house.

environmentally conscious
way
Key Activities

access to a variety of
different clothing options
(luxury, vintage, streetwear,
etc.) without having to pay
full price tag or feel bad
about throwing clothes away

4. Day 1 Customer Feedback
“I’m concerned about the quality and cleanliness of peer-to-
peer clothing rental”
“I use Poshmark to get rid of cheaper things and make money.
I would be nervous to rent my stuff out to people for fear of
them ruining it”
“I would rent clothes from other people, especially if there
were luxury items. I wouldn’t rent my own clothes out
though”
Bottom line: quality, cleanliness, and affordability were the major concerns for
people when thinking about peer-to-peer clothing rental, but we needed more
data points to validate this

6. Day 2 Customer Feedback
“I had a negative experience selling my clothes on The
RealReal. I probably wouldn’t rent my clothes out because I’m
afraid of them getting damaged”
“Renting snowgear would be beneficial for me because my kids
want to ski but I’m not sure if they’ll stick with it; renting
jackets for them would save my wallet a couple hundred
bucks”
“I already borrow certain gear from my friends, like gloves;
being able to rent other equipment would be a game changer”
Bottom line: there doesn’t seem to be a need for peer-to-peer luxury clothing
rental (yet). However, there seems to be some interest in the skiwear category

8. Day 3 Customer Feedback
“I’m comfortable renting my skigear out as opposed to
donating it, but I don’t want to manage the rental process; I’d
want a central system managing the process for me”
“If I rent my skigear out, I’d want to have visibility into the
gear at all times. In the case I go on a spontaneous trip, I’d
want to be able to recall my gear”
“I went snowboarding once, and had to buy all my gear. It cost
me so much. If I had known about a rental option, I’d have
used that instead”
Bottom line: skiing and snowboarding is expensive, and almost prohibitive for
beginners. We need more data around the storage component though
