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.
