Storebox

The Company

Storebox is not just an online storage space exchange that we established together. It is a project that captured our hearts as we poured our motivation, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit into it.

Storebox is also a great example of how a small, accidental observation can become something huge. "When I learned that my 84-year-old neighbor had rented her unused basement unit a craftsman for storing his equipment and materials, I had to consider what a great idea it would be if we could bring those people together", remembers Storebox founder and CEO Johannes Braith. "That set the foundation for Storebox. I just hadn’t realized it yet.

The Product

Storebox is also a perfect example for how quickly one can establish themselves and then reinvent themselves completely. Starting as what has become the largest storage exchange in the German-speaking region, we had a successful market launch with numerous prizes and awards (Best Startup Award for the Pitching Days in Tel Aviv 2016, Logistics Startup of the Year 2016, Winner of the Post-startup Challenge 2016) combined with a strong business idea that was convincing for investors. However, when it was time for the change, we could redefine our business idea disruptively and develop a fully new business model from scratch, which and proved to be a big success. Europe’s most modern Selfstorage business, Storebox was born. With just a few clicks, you can book your storage unit with 24/7 access, video surveillance and insurance online. In addition, a smart sensor system will measure temperatures and humidity. Moreover we provide you with personalized service. Storebox - You Storage Next Door.

All of this created a great team, launched the first facebook moving chatbot and made life easier for many customers.

Today, we are proud of what has been created. However, we are not resting on our laurels. Instead, we are ensuring that Storebox remains a vital, fresh and multi-faceted project with great expectations for the future. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive Storebox network throughout the German-speaking region and to solve the lack of space in the long term.
