Will Davis - Outbox

Interviewer: Russ Capper | Guest: Will Davis | Episode: 399 | Date: January 26, 2013

Will Davis set out to disrupt the outdated snail mail industry when he co-founded Outbox. The company digitizes postal mail and delivers it to a digital mailbox which users can then tag, search and archive. It takes the power from the sender and transfers preferences to the receiver. Davis says it gives consumers control over what they do or don’t want to receive (no more trash mail!) as they create the postal experience that consumers want. Think of the implications—control the catalogues you don’t want; unsolicited vendors will have to rethink their mailings. You could become paperless overnight!
