In partnership with

1) Gap of the Week: “Home‑Depot‑On‑Demand”

The hole: Contractors lose an average 2.3 hrs / day driving for forgotten supplies (HomeAdvisor survey, May 2025).

The wedge: A same‑day delivery layer that pulls live inventory from local hardware stores, charges a flat $9 rush fee, and rides the gig‑driver glut created by declining food‑delivery orders.

Why now:

  • FedEx & UPS slashed small‑parcel fees on items <20 lbs.

  • Housing‑renovation spend hit $567 B (+11 % YoY), Census data.

  • 63 % of contractors already order from phones on‑site (Houzz 2025 Pro Report).

Exit vision: Become the Instacart API for every regional hardware chain starved of e‑commerce talent.
