Our mission is to connect the military community, our veterans, and the friends and family around them. Our purpose is to free our military community of friction, so that they can focus on keeping us free. Problem There is a great need for a comprehensive communications and lifestyle platform specifically designed to meet he needs of our military, veterans and their friends and families. Historically, there has not been a platform aligned with today’s social-mobile expectations that allows this community to securely connect and thrive. 10-15% (~200,000) of our military are off-the-grid at any given time, leaving physical letters as the only way to communicate. Most are in basic training where they are off-the-grid for the first time in their lives. As a result, physical hand written letter mail is the only communication while off-the-grid. While on-the-grid, the military community is using social networks and other lifestyle apps that are designed for less sensitive civilian life. Sandboxx, developed by service members, for service members, fills this void with a communications platform that combines necessary security protocols with specific capabilities and lifestyle management tools for the community that protects our nation. Sandboxx Solutions Mailboxx No more "I'm sorry, I meant to write..." Mail Call is the most important source of morale for our troops who are offthe-grid. Our solution Mailboxx allows a user to send physical text and images from their device to users who are off-the-grid. Creates an intense emotional bond between the service member, Sandboxx and today’s generation of mobile communicator. How it works 1 Open Sandboxx, choose or snap a picture, add text, select the recipient or input an address, and hit send. 2 Sandboxx confidentially and automatically prints and folds each Mailboxx for the daily post office drop. 3 The message is received as a physical letter with your photo and text… 4 …with a stamped and addressed envelope ready for return to the sender, they just need a pen Chatboxx Unit-Specific Secure Social Communication Chatboxx - What’s Unique Unit Based Organization = Social Structure Chatboxx has been developed to provide a digital representation of our military user’s physical command structure, allowing each Chatboxx user to post text, photos and check posts at each level of command: platoon, wing, detachment, company, section, etc. Units are the social glue of military culture Sandboxx provides a digital foundation Connect & Reconnect Through the unit structure, Chatboxx allows active and veteran service members to connect with current and past units (…future coming soon) - forming and rekindling bonds with those they served beside. Streamline & Secure Streamlines, secures and standardizes social connectivity within units, providing more effective distribution of lifestyle communication. Screenshots Product Strategy 1 Aquire users starting with recruit candidates and family members and friends of our soldiers who are off-the-grid by building lasting and emotional relationships through Mailboxx that continue throughout our service members’ careers. 2 Engage with and listen to our users and the military community to continue building functionality to meet their needs. 3 Expand into a comprehensive lifestyle management tool for our active and veteran military communities that offers solutions like Mailboxx and Chatboxx for all aspects of the military life.
