In the season of shopping-craze we should realise how inefficient consumption currently is. But there are better alternatives for both customers and brands, and of course our planet. Help us to spread the world about this huge opportunity to scale a more sustainable consumption. In this video our founder Alexander Engl describes the inefficiencies of retail and consumption and an opportunity to give consumers and brands an alternative that is not only sustainable but simply better. Help us to scale sustainable consumption: like, share, join and introduce our concept to your connections. Together we can make an impact. #impact #impactinvesting #sustainability #hållbarhet #circulareconomy #sharingeconomy #accesseconomy #angelinvesting #angelinvestor #circularmonday #blackfriday #ihopa #retail #innovation #sustainableconsumption

📣 Big News: We are officially launching the European Digital Kiosks network, a collaboration of sharing economy station providers and European cities. Self-service stations have a huge opportunity to revolutionize the way we consume. They will make it much more efficient to access products instead of buying. It is a new market that needs leadership and collaboration. That is why we are part of the founder class of this European network to collaborate rather than compete to bring this future closer: 👨🏫 Work together with policy makers to showcase the full potential of this a extended network of access stations. 🔍 Understand the socio-economic and environmental impact of sharing stations. 🏦 Access funding opportunities and deploy new pilots and larger hubs of sharing stations. We are happy to join the network initiated by Bax, together with Equip Sport, BoxUp, Les Biens en Commun, Library of Things, Familjebostäder, Familjebostäder i Göteborg AB, Sia Habitat, Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg, Jyväskylän kaupunki - City of Jyväskylä and several more.

Thanks Impact Loop and Christian for writing about our new direction ihopa. We are looking to 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 in order to establish sustainable consumption as the logical choice over buying. After 3 years of hard work to find the right recipe to change consumption, 𝐢𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. We have proven that giving people access to great home and leisure products via our self-service hubs is profitable and can be scaled. However, we have to adapt to the market reality that funding new circular concepts has become difficult. Of course, we will not say no to equity investors, but we are restructuring our company to not needing Venture Capital money to survive. We are now looking for partnerships with retailers, real estate companies and brands that want to grow access to products together with us. A recent report from SEBs strategic analyst Christopher Lyrhem discussed the shift towards the access economy having a similar potential as the shift toward e-commerce had. So there is a huge upside for early adopters. Our team is very dedicated to make this work, because a sustainable world needs real alternatives to overbuying. Connections to the right people and partners would be very appreciated and so would a like or share to reach them.

🔁 Cirkulära grannboxen ihopa tar ett steg tillbaka och vill hitta nya partnerskap som kan få affären att fortsätta. "Jag tror inte att kapital kommer bli lättillgängligt igen, så vi måste skala utan riskkapital. Vi har partnerskap, kunder och en massa lärdomar. Nu letar vi efter nya medgrundare som kan komma in med kompletterande kompetenser så att vi kan utvecklas vidare", säger grundaren och vd:n Alexander Engl.

Products "On-demand" - the next disruptive wave in retail, a similar shift like e-commerce was! A new SEB report describes the huge potential of making products accessible as a service: A new trillion dollar market that can reach 20% of retail within the next 20 years. Christopher Lyrhem has crunched at a lot of market and customer data and forecasts that after the last shifts towards shopping centers in the 70s and e-commerce in the 2010s, the next big shift will be the one towards products as a service."In the next 10 years, I believe there is a fourth wave coming…a wave of On-demand. I call this "Commerce 4.0". This wave is fundamentally different from the prior three, as it relies on selling on-demand access [...to physical products], instead of selling product units. This shift could rewrite the way optimal customer relationships are formed" We at ihopa are not really surprised as we see the same in the market. What we also see is that the market needs more scalable systems to grow in this direction. Our grannbox concept is one such, confirmed by user numbers, profitable unit economics and international partners.  If you want to be part of the future of consumption, join our journey! #investors #customers #followers  Learn more about how we are building a scalable distribution system for the access economy in the recent video with our founder Alexander Engl : https://lnkd.in/d9xYJcDs #angelinvestors #vcfunding #futureofcommerce #futureofconsumption #futureofretail #circulareconomy #circularity #accesseconomy #sharingeconomy #sustainableconsumption #sustainability #sustainableinnovation #sustainablefuture #sustainabilitygoals

Go Alex!

How will a future sustainable city look like? We think it will be all about access over ownership and that is what we will pitch at the Urban Tech Forward conference as a finalist at the Urban Tech Challengers.
