What prices do you foresee the market accepting for each type of module?

Hello David. We carefully considered pricing while creating the modules. This process included talking to almost a hundred potential customers; to be sure we were building something people loved and could afford. Here’s where we settled: Solo (480 SQft): $89k, Nano (336 SQft): $69k, Solo (240 SQft): $59k. I hope this answers your question. I'm here if you have more.

Hi Dami, A few questions: 1. Why the name Nest? Nest is already a known brand owned by Google. 2. When will the first home be delivered? 3. How does one hook up utilities? Thanks.

Hello Kevin.1. I see the concern you have here. We agree the name sounds "taken". We've contemplated dropping the Nest keyword to settle for a simpler naming convention. This will likely be the case. We'll keep you posted. (Thanks!)2. We're targeting our first batch of deliveries to start in April, and ramp up production by summer this year.3. We've designed utility hookups to be plug and play. External wall mounted I/O for easy powe...

Question: If I were to invest and wanted a unit for a market test in the Midwest how early could I reasonably expect to be able to acquire the solo (480 SQ ft model)

Hi Sean, The earliest delivery date for new orders will be around June. However, depending on the opportunity the market test affords us, we definitely could move things around for an earlier date.

The concept has potential. Your proposed prices make this solution slightly more expensive than traditional housing, since there are other costs to consider, such as land purchase. A few questions: 1. How will you market this as a premium housing solution? 2. Who is your targe...

Hello, David. Yes, it's slightly more expensive (on paper), but when you look at the unrivaled benefits we offer, it's the best bang for your buck. For instance, durability, security and health already beat anything you can find from a traditional home. 1. Perception is key to this. We're working on building the brand into a high-value one. We have several strategies we've already mapped here. 2. Target demographic is very interesting for us: Single professionals, newly weds/new families, sta...

Do you plan larger size rooms, such as 16' x 24' or more?

Hello, Jeanette. Yes we absolutely do! We have larger models coming later this year.

Strengths

says, "Dami (the CEO) absolutely knows the ins and outs of his business. He was extremely concise and precise in his answers, and Roombus seems to be on the cusp of something big, as evidenced by the $10M in pre-orders and purchase requests."

Advice

says, "While the demand for affordable housing is obvious (and massive), whether Roombus will scratch that itch for consumers is still to be seen. But the pre-order numbers do seem promising. I think the logistics and capital required to succeed at scale will be significant (supply chains, manufacturing, shipping, and setup), so it will be interesting to see how the team executes on the initial roll out."
