About Jupe
Jupe is an innovative startup focused on providing temporary housing solutions for people displaced by natural disasters and those seeking unique, nature-immersive experiences.

Read full description
Jupe's primary clients include disaster survivors, such as those affected by the Maui fires and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as eco-tourists looking for a deep connection with nature. The company has partnered with organizations like Global Empowerment Mission to facilitate on-ground operations and logistics, ensuring efficient delivery and setup of their shelters. Local communities, such as Hawaiians, contribute by donating land where Jupes can be installed, fostering a sense of community and support.
The business model of Jupe revolves around the production and deployment of smart dwellings, which are equipped with modern amenities like solar charging and heated queen mattresses. These shelters are designed to provide comfort and a sense of normalcy to displaced families, helping them stay close to each other as they rebuild their lives. For eco-tourists, Jupe offers an immersive experience in untouched natural settings, such as the giant sequoias near San Francisco, with provisions for fresh local foods and other amenities.
Jupe generates revenue through the sale and rental of these smart dwellings. In disaster relief scenarios, funding often comes from partnerships with non-profits and government agencies. For eco-tourism, revenue is generated from direct bookings by customers seeking a unique lodging experience.
In summary, Jupe combines innovative shelter solutions with a deep respect for nature, serving both disaster relief needs and eco-tourism markets.
