We know your first question, here’s the answer.
oot rhymes with boot, and it stands for out of the box.
Ootbox was founded in 2020 by those two beautiful faces you see above. We’re Based out of Columbus, Ohio where we build every box by hand. Our mission is to create a better and more flexible way to work and play.
"My leasing company uses ootbox for pre-leasing apartments before they're built. Our older clientele are used to a premium experience. We've explored temporary office rentals but ootbox can be on site and still provide a level of high end comfort that we'd expect from temporary offices. Additionally, they have space for our own branding to be displayed. We're very impressed and would continue to use as part of our leasing model."

How to write about ootbox:
Officially launched in June 2020, ootBox is a spunky start-up company that is looking to reinvent expectations for the traditional temporary office space. Led by co-founders Robbie Friedman and Allison Zofan, ootBox was first conceptualized by Robbie back in 2016. As a big law attorney-turned-entrepreneur and a new father he was unable to have certain work-related conversations at home or family-related discussions in his office. With no clear solution available, Robbie set out for an “out of the box” answer to his privacy problems and discovered a widely unmet demand for movable, shareable work spaces that provide a third place (or an “escape” as he called it) for anyone, anywhere, and at any time. Fully equipped and beautifully designed, ootBoxes are made from 10-foot traditional shipping containers, and provide users with a comfortable, leasable office that is delivered straight to properties on-demand. ootBoxes can be deployed anywhere for just about any application from residential backyards, parking lots, and coffee shops to university campuses, shopping centers, medical facilities and other public spaces.
