Cubby’s mission is to empower self-storage operators to grow their independent and family-owned businesses in the face of massive institutionalization. There are more than 70,000 self-storage properties in North America. They’re operated by more than 35,000 independent business owners who provide service to tenants in times of tremendous life change. Whether moving across the country for a new job opportunity or moving on after a family death or divorce, self-storage tenants find tremendous value from a high-quality renting experience. So much value, in fact, that self-storage is the fastest growing asset class in commercial real estate by value, surpassing $50 billion annually in the U.S. last year. The lending market in this asset class is growing as well, with over $10 billion trading hands annually. Additional investor interest is pouring in, and with it, tremendous pressure to compete at the highest level. If you want to build technology that’s valued by more than 1 in 10 Americans renting a storage unit, the near minimum wage managers looking for a way to earn their bonus, and the independent owners, lenders, and investors that make up this industry, we'd love to chat.
