Who we are

We bought storage on bad data. So we built better data.

Founded and led by people who have bought, built and operated self-storage.

our story

We didn’t plan to start a data company.

We were storage investors, 12 facilities in, tired of underwriting deals on data we didn’t trust. So we found TractIQ on page 10 of Google and bought it. It had been founded in 2018 by Thomas Halatyn, and we’re proud to carry his work forward.

Then we stopped buying storage so we’d never compete with our customers.

Now we build the data we wish we’d had: verified, transparent, and in one place.

A note from Noah

I know the pain of a bad deal because I’ve lived it. I bought the wrong site, so I’ve sat through the hard calls with our lender and investors, and had sleepless nights, fear, and regret.

My bad deals motivated me to fix the data problem in storage so no one else has to live through one. I’ve also bought great sites, and that feeling of being on top of the world is what we want for every customer.

While we can’t promise that outcome, we do promise to tell you the truth, care deeply, and do the best we can for you every day.

Noah StarrCEO and Co-Founder
Our no conflicts pledge

In 2024, Noah publicly committed to no longer buying storage facilities to build the best data company in the industry. We haven’t bought a single facility since. Instead, we’ve helped hundreds of investors buy their own, and walk away from the deals they shouldn’t.
