BEACH NOW Start UP
Donation protected
Dear Friends and fellow Beachgoers !
My name is Lexie and I live in Venice Beach. I have grown up by and enjoyed the wonders of the beach my whole life! Last summer, a group of girlfreinds and I decided to save money and take advantage of living at the beach so we made a pact to spend every weekend at the beach when we weren't traveling or working.
As an outdoorsy person, I understand the importance of having the right gear for every adventure. A surfer, camper, burner, and someone who truly enjoys entertaining and creating experiences, I would drag all the important elements; towels, cooler, umbrella, wind guard, surf boards out for my friends and pack a picnic.
We often joked in how we wish we could just magically have someone deliver a refill of our drinks or bring us more sunscreen when we ran out. One day we said,
"There should be an app for that !"
In that moment the idea for Beach Now was conceived.
In September, following that summer I was abruptly let go from my job. I realized that this is the time to seize an opportunity. I spent the next two months and my savings surviving and conducting intense market research, app devlopment, existing platforms, marketing outlets and wrote a business plan and developed a board of advisors.
BEACH NOW will evolve the way you enjoy the beach.
By seamlessly connecting beach goers to a mobile personal beach concierge service through an app platform. Beach Now intends to make Venice Beach and beaches of the world effortlessly accessible, which allows for more time for rest,relaxation and fun on the beach !

Beach chaise and loungers, umbrellas and a variety of shade tents, towels, games, and even a bluetooth speaker that easliy connects your mobile device !
Your concierge can also provide complimentary sunscreen, magizines, and get you food from near by vendors. Including our favorite Fruit Gallery for smoothies, salads and wraps!
Now this is where I need your help !
