KC Born. KC Raised.
The Founders
Ben Jackson
Ben leads business development and growth strategy. Before Bungii, Ben held various positions working to help grow startups on the west coast as well as general management and business development for mountain resorts. He received his BS in Business Marketing and Sales from Kansas State University. Born in Georgia, raised in Europe and educated in Kansas, he realizes there’s a constant need for pickup trucks worldwide - and he’s working to alleviate that.
Harrison Proffitt
Harrison is in charge of business operations and technical development. He found his niche in the tech industry working for a nationwide business solutions company which motivated him to co-found Bungii. He received his BS in Business Marketing, Biology and Statistics from Kansas State University. He is passionate about simplifying life through technology and is aspiring to share that through Bungii.
Our First pickup
On a hot Manhattan afternoon in 2014, Ben Jackson had four different friends ask if they could borrow his pickup to help haul stuff across town. Multiple truck loads later, being more worn out than his '99 Ford Ranger, he laid in bed thinking, "there has to be a better way."
The next day in class at K-State, Ben whispered his dilemma to Harrison Proffitt who nonchalantly replied, "Let's start a business." They walked out of that class with one concept in mind: tap a button, get a truck.
Bungii has come a long way since then and we look forward to being there for your next, "I need a truck" moment.
