Hi, I'm Patricio Vidal and I'm Rodolfo BerrĂos
We believe that each one of us has hidden treasures
and that's why we want to create a virtual marketplace for these items.
Pretty much like an online garage sale or flea market.
We are talking about a revolutionary way of publishing second hand items
that we have called it Junkstr
Everyday we acquire items that get out attention
like devices, toys, ornaments and so on.
These items become part of our life
but end up in this box labeled as "junk".
The idea is get rid of this junk so you can recover the lost room
and perhaps earn some money with it.
But the point is this:
Does it worth the effort taking photos, write a title, write a description and set a price tag of items
that won't interest anyone or that no one will care about?
More importantly...
In which items should focus the seller?
So we came up with Junkstr
The seller simply take a photo of all the items and done.
The community will begin to be interested only in those items that really matter
and in these articles the seller will focus and interact with others.
Buyers who are interested will mark the items for information
and the seller may upload an additional photo, add more details, indicate the sale price
or accept an offer, even gift the item.
Junkstr will help people to regain the lost room that they need
making money or love (karma) for it
and it will help to other people to find treasures that otherwise they couldn't find.
This will be because of the high social impact in junkstr and the easy publishing process.
In 2007 Patricio went to Spain to take a master deegre where he co-funded Doomos,
a worldwide real estate classifieds website
which now reach 2MM monthly visits in Latin America.
Since that moment he has participated in many classified website development
where he applied his technical knowledge and leadership.
He knows the market thanks to the experimentation
which lead him to successful campaigns to attract customers and increase the traffic.
Rodolfo is the founder of Chevereto
which is the most popular image hosting script in the world.
He has skills in design and server side programing.
He even made an open source program to handle daily operations in a copper smelter furnace.
Rodolfo on his experience in Chevereto realized how valuable is the customer
and how you can motivate a good relationship with them.
According with we have saw in other countries
we are sure that in Chile there is talent enough to develop world class projects
and we want to find these talents and power up them in Junkstr.
Also, we want to transfer our experience to new entrepreneurs
and show them that you can live from your own start-up
We believe that we can recreate the social experience of a garage sale
in the most accurate way and from the comfort of your home
providing an easy and simple solution
to change the way that people sell their second hand goods.
That is Junkstr.
