Deal Highlights
Our mission is simple. We help customers live healthier lives by educating and retailing modern wellness products from our robotic retailers. Our curated mix of plant based medicine helps customers manage stress, sleep soundly through the night, with inflammation & even relaxation.
Problem
There are so many amazing products coming to market that did not exist in the recent past. As these natural plant based products come online, they require education on how it can help our daily lives. The problem greenbox Robotics is solving is making the education and accessibility of these products attainable in high foot trafficked locations.
Solution

Through the process of education, our technology allows customers to purchase products based on an individual’s needs to help them live healthier lives. Our curated menu of trusted products offers a variety of desired effects. Customers can also shop under specific collections and choose their products by categories such as drift & dream, beauty & pleasure, relief & recovery, and relaxation.
Business Model
greenbox Robotics has four models.
- Traditional retail model of selling modern wellness plant based products. greenbox currently operates at blended 68% retail margin between 15 different brand partners
- greenbox leases out the robots to private operators or stores to retail high ticket items that require product education
- greenbox Robotics sells data to enable product manufacturers to learn more about their end user of customer prior to building the products
- When Covid-19 shut down all of our mall deployments, we immediately launched a D2C program with a Shopify website. All of the curated greenbox products can now be delivered right to your doorstep!
Market
The market opportunity for greenbox is massive! This industry is projected to grow to $23.7 Billion by 2025. The opportunity for greenbox to land grab in high foot trafficked locations is also massive. We have identified the perfect footprints or plugs to deploy our wellness robots. Our focus is on high rise apartment complexes, hotels, & eventually airport terminals. We came to this location conclusion after testing in environments like shopping malls, grocery stores & even a 7-Eleven in Boulder, CO.
Progress
greenbox has made incredible progress since its launch, January 10th, 2019. We had successful activations at SXSW, Coachella & other music festivals. We have grown our partnerships up to 35 different qualified wellness brands. Our technology continues to progress based on key learnings from customers in the field. We have developed efficiencies every week that enable us to scale more effectively. It’s all about learning quickly and making the adjustments in real time.
