A Zurp station. Pick up a charger and keep your phone with you.
The idea

A dead phone shouldn’t end a good night.

Zurp puts rentable portable chargers in New York City venues. You can keep your phone with you while it charges, so you can get back to your friends instead of standing next to an outlet.

I’m a co-founder of the business. We wanted the rental to be quick enough that you wouldn’t have to think much about it. There’s no app to download and no account to create.

Using Zurp

A few seconds at the station.

You handle the rental on your phone, right where you are.

  1. Scan the station

    Use the QR code on a Zurp station to start your rental.

  2. Grab a charger

    Pay with Apple Pay or Stripe Link, then take a battery with you.

  3. Return it when you’re done

    Drop the battery into any Zurp station. You don’t need to return to the one you started at.

For venues

Keep your guests connected.

A station gives guests somewhere to charge without leaving their phones behind. If you run a venue, the Zurp team can walk you through bringing one to your space.

Keep your night going.
