PHASE I: How did the idea come up?
HEC Jouy sure is an excellent place to go crazy once a week in POW.
But, it may not be the best place to settle down.
We invest a lot into our rooms! - additional lamp, fancy chair, radiator, fridge... whatever!
But what are you going to do with these when you leave campus?
Sell? Store? Donate to friends? Just throw away?
This is where the idea all started!
Why don't we help people get rid of their furniture at the end of the year and provide cheap products to new comers!
Why don't we provide a service to let people store their little belongings!
HERE IN CAMPUS!
HEC Garage Team developed this idea into a busieness model - to connect the different timing for “getting rid of stuff” and “buying for comfort”.
PHASE II: Developing the idea
So the idea is good but how are we going to make a business out of this?
The HEC Garage team and HECreate members joined altogether to brainstorm.
How are we going to generate profit?
How do we have to prepare?
Are we sure that students will use this service?
What will the school say about this?
and the list goes on and on......
Several hours, several drinks more than 10 enthusiastic minds gathered to develop this idea.
And finally, the alpha version of the website was launched to test the website before the business peak season, May. hecgarage.fr

PHASE III: So what are we up to now and what are we going to do?
After explaining our business model to HEC Residence office,
we found more motivation to develop this business idea into a social and sustainable business.
We help students sell their goods instead of throwing away, and also to store belongings to pick up in September.
We operate with 3 objectives
1. Provide convenience and upgrade lifestyle of HEC dwellers.
2. Reduce inappropriate waste of valuable commodities.
3. And even better, Social business! we will donate part of the profits to charity groups on campus.
We are now finding storage places, dealing with legal issues and exploring many marketing schemes.
Also, we will be shortly launching a survey. [Planning a survey is quite something!]
At the same time, we are looking for opportunities to finance our project.
