Recharge 2.0

Pay for homes by the minute

Recharge started in hotels providing luxury space where customers could Recharge themselves by taking a nap, shower or grabbing a conference call on the go. Starting in 2019 Recharge launched Homes to expand options for customers. This expansion enables hosts to Recharge their wallets by sharing their home while they’re at work during the day.

I thought that it's pretty genius (from reading the press) that they're not having overnight stays, and so avoid a lot of city tax and regulation. @mannybamfo does that mean that people who can't airbnb out their places could potentially put their places on Recharge instead?

Yep people who can’t airbnb can definitely recharge during the day! Because we don’t operate overnight. Anyone can get started today. @_jacksmith

@_jacksmith @emmanuelbamfo What happens if someone rents a home for 23 hours? No taxes/regs?

I hunted this product when they were just hotels and SUPER excited to see them expand into homes carving their own lane against other home-sharing apps. With Recharge, you can finally access private living space on every corner by the minute! No need to rent a hotel or home for a day at a time. If you have a conference or are running around the city for meetings and want to use a shower after the gym, Recharge enables you to pay for a home or hotel room by the minute. It's currently live in SF, NYC and LA. On top of that, they have a 80K waitlist with cities all around the world. You can sign up now and add your city! Sign up for the network using the link below and we’ll each get 30 minutes of Recharge Nap minutes added to our accounts! 😴 https://www.recharge.co/#/r/JACK213

This extension to the home makes a ton of sense, and hopefully cheaper than hotels.

@rrhoover @_jacksmith @mannybamfo Curious how you see this playing out long term. Airbnb was cheaper in the beginning when it was owners with spare rooms who occasionally had people stay. But now... the vast majority of Airbnb seems to really be the same or more $$ than hotels. It's a different type of space, but it's not a budget option anymore.
