Imagine if you are out on vacation and forgot some necessary stuff at home and you had to buy a full pack knowing that you have all these supplies at home, but just not currently with you. Wouldn’t it be great if someone could just bring you a sample size? Well, this is going to be a reality with Jetpack, which recently launched on campus at Stanford, comes in.
“It’s not that they completely ran out of these things, but they’re in a situation where they just need a sample size,” Jetpack founder and CEO Fatima Dicko, a graduate student at Stanford University, quoted in a report in TechCrunch.

Jetpack delivers ’emergency’ supplies to students on demand. Initially, 15 items are available for on-demand delivery, and each item costs anywhere from one to five dollars. Currently, there are 100 students on campus equipped with Jetpack bags, ready to supply people with anything from energy drinks to cold meds to hangover remedies.
Jetpack pre-stocks people with those items so that once they get the request, all they have to do is worry about is the delivery. Jetpackers receive a standard weekly fee for selling a certain percentage of the products. Down the road, the goal is to expand Jetpack into cities and sell themed kits, which will cost between five to $10.
