Today’s Q&A Wednesday is with Dok-It Online, which provides secure storage for your valuable information. Dok-It is a startup located in the San Antonio area, and has just recently launched their service.

Q: Give us the elevator pitch for your Dok It?
We are a web based services company that allows our clients to store information about their valuables on our website. Once you have built your profile you are able to upload information on any equipment or valuables that you have in your home or office that you would file a claim against with your insurance company do to loss or damage such as theft, fire or flood. You can upload pictures, serial numbers, warranty cards and any purchase information such as date, purchase location and or amount paid. The quick answer is that we are networking with the insurance companies and this will allow you to speed up any claim you may have to file with them because or loss or damage. They are really loving the concept because it helps their customers get back to normal quicker. At $39.95 a year we will store information on up to 250 items. More storage is available for an additional charge. Custom orders can be obtained by contacting me directly. We can’t stop bad things from happening but we can help make getting back on your feet easier and quicker. Like our slogan says “Life Happens, Be Prepared”.

Q: What gave you the idea for the product?
Unfortunately, the owners had a break in at their home and office and between everything of value being stolen, dealing with law enforcement, and their insurance agent the concept started there. It has grown into what you will see now. We want to help reduce the stress of trying to remember everything in your house after having a break in or other emergency.

Q: Was there an “A Ha!” moment when you knew you had something that people needed?
When we started discussing the idea with insurance agents and the way the concept grabbed their attention. They would tell us how much easier this would make the experience on them and their clients. We knew that this could be something special!!

Q: How has the company been funded so far?
Privately Funded.
