Post-pitch story

Cody Candee pitched Bounce as a simple fix for a travel headache: what to do with your bags before check-in or after checkout. Bounce lets travelers drop luggage at nearby shops and hotels, and that idea has gone global. The company raised a $19 million Series B in 2024. In early 2026 it dropped its package-pickup service to focus on luggage storage, then acquired its European competitor Nannybag in February 2026, adding retail partners such as Carrefour in France. By late 2026 the Bounce network had more than 32,000 storage locations in over 4,000 cities, and it had started a luggage delivery service in Japan, Portugal and France. Candee, who returned to the show in a later season, is still CEO. From a pitch about where to put your suitcase to a worldwide network that's now buying its rivals, Bounce has become one of the show's clearest wins.
