Vending Machine AI Software

Listing Details

A software platform that retrofits fridges into mini storefronts: we use AI computer vision to track & charge customers, like a mini Amazon Go.

Every week more than 112 million Americans wait 45 minutes for delivery. Why are folks still waiting 45 minutes for delivery in this convenience economy?

Using a store is easy:

1. Open: Open the app, scan the QR code on the fridge door and - and it opens! The door is unlocked.
2. Grab: Grab whatever you want from inside. You’re only charged for what you take. We use AI computer vision to track inventory.
3. Go: Sesame is designed to be the most convenient way to grab a bite while connecting you with your local community of chefs.

Who is the customer?

1. (Franchise) Entrepreneurs looking for additional sources of income buy our stores and stock the stores with any product on the market that your tenants want.
2. Meal kit companies, consumer packaged goods, grocers, grab-and-go brands, and more buy our stores and stock them with their products.

Why it's awesome:

1. Better data for smarter businesses
2. Eradicates theft
3. Gamified dashboard

Traction:

1. A waitlist of over 100
2. MVPs launched
3. A non-provisional patent submitted, both nationally and internationally

How can the buyer take this project further?

We are a team of first-time founders, living in state that does not receive much Silicon Valley attention. While I still believe fully in this product, we ran out of funding and couldn't find a feasible way to keep operations going. 

We were able to raise capital through multiple outlets during our time (traditional VC, crowdfunding, accelerators, etc), which funded the product you see today.

There are currently 7M vending machines in the US. A buyer with cash to keep this moving has the potential to penetrate the $270B delivery market, and compete against it as a viable player.

We're selling everything:

1. Patent (national & international)
2. Entire code base
3. Dashboards
4. App
5. Waitlist
6. Website
7. Social media
