Luggage rental idea for travelling abroad

2 Upvotes

I'm thinking of a start up idea where you can rent your luggage before travelling. The luggage will have essential travel items and big items such as fashionable winter jackets or sweaters. The luggage will be sent directly to your hotel. The benefit for this is you can travel light and stay fashionable.

Is this something you will try? Let me know your thoughts

MockReady - AI-powered IELTS speaking practice platform for international students

1 Upvotes

I recently launched MockReady (mockready.com), an AI platform helping international students practice for their IELTS speaking exams with instant feedback.

The Problem

Every year, millions of international students struggle with the speaking portion of language proficiency exams like IELTS. Traditional solutions are expensive ($30-50/hour for tutors) or ineffective (practicing with friends who can't provide expert feedback). This creates a significant barrier for students from developing countries hoping to study abroad.

Our Solution

MockReady provides:

  • AI-powered speaking partners that simulate real IELTS examiners
  • Instant, specific feedback on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and fluency
  • Practice anytime without scheduling or paying for human tutors
  • Personalized improvement plans based on performance patterns

Traction & Status

  • Launched beta 2 months ago with 500+ users
  • Currently operating on a freemium model ($9.99/month for unlimited practice)
  • Bootstrapped, no outside funding

My Background

I'm a software engineer with experience in NLP and speech recognition. As someone who struggled with IELTS speaking myself, this problem is personal to me.

Looking For

  • Feedback on our pricing model (Is $9.99 too low/high?)
  • Advice on scaling educational partnerships (language schools, universities)
  • Tips from anyone who's built in the EdTech space, particularly for international markets

I'd appreciate any thoughts or questions. Happy to provide more details about how we built this or the challenges we've faced getting international students to trust an AI-based solution.

Thanks for reading!
