imagine this

• you and your friends are visiting Mexico City for the weekend.

• as you explore the city, you discover that there is a good futbol match happening on Saturday.

• all of you want to go see it, but want the ultimate experience: a stadium box.

• problem is… you and your friends don't have one.

• with oasis you can rent a private box with a single click of a button.

explain it like i'm five

oasis is the Airbnb for stadium boxes…

• they're the leading platform in Mexico that connects stadium box owners with people looking to rent.

• you can book private boxes for concerts, F1 races, NBA, NFL, soccer games, etc.

the ABCs

• industries: entertainment providers, proptech

• headquarters: Mexico City, Mexico

• year founded: 2021

• company size: <12

• venues: 15 stadiums (USA & Mexico)

• amount raised: bootstrapped- (currently raising)

• business model: sharing economy; peer-to-peer platform collecting a “platform tax”. Charging stadium box owners a "fee".

background check

what we like

• ☯️ sharing economy business model: All parties win. The stadium, box owners, consumers, and the oasis app.

• 📈 year over year bookings: 2021-> 74 bookings. 2022 -> 549 bookings.

• ⚽ worldcup 2026: can use world cup 2026 to monetize in "Estadio Azteca". Their strongest venue. oasis will not offer services to rent a box in other venues, given that FIFA takes ownership of the stadiums.

• 🚣 scalability: can shift to other revenue streams… sale tickets, merch, and other industries that do not involve stadium boxes. (ex. connect a plane owner with a person who needs a plane) most of the tech is already in place.

roadblocks

• 🥊 competition: in Mexico, two big players compete for the same users. In the US, a lot more. Difficulty transmitting trust towards users and box owners.

• 😷 pandemics: a competitor of oasis stated that thanks to the pandemic they had to let go of everyone and were missing out on millions of mxn because of closed stadiums.

• 👯 market both consumers and stadium box owners: growing a platform is extremely hard. In this case, you have to market both types of users… the owners of the box and the rentees.

the architects

• Octavio Pena, CEO & co-founder

• Jeronimo Gomez, member of the board & co-founder

other players

• Stadibox

• Rentaunpalco

• Suitehop

• Traditional companies (Ticketmaster, Stubhub, etc)

so why oasis: with more than 15 venues in Mexico and US, we can see oasis expanding quickly across South and North America. From 2021 to 2022 their bookings increased by 641%. 

And that's a wrap! But don't worry, the fun doesn't have to end here. Keep the conversation going by following us on Twitter @latmstartups
