Today, we're thrilled to announce our $63M Series A.

This accelerates our mission to build the future of self-storage with AI-native tech. With 400 operators and 500k units on our platform, we're just getting started.

25 facilities. Migrated in a single day. Not one hiccup.
That's not how migrations usually go — unless the middleman's already out of the loop.

"We don't want to switch to a software we'll use for two years and then switch again."

The operators going from top 50 to top 25 aren't picking software for today. They're picking a partner for the next decade.

You spend to get 100 people to your site. 90 drop off before they rent. You paid for 100 and bought 10.

Most operators respond by buying more traffic. The cheaper move is to fix the 90 first.

Google rewards three things in reviews: quality, quantity, consistency.

Everyone forgets the third one.

20 reviews in a day then silence for 3 weeks reads as a spike. 1–3 a week, every week, reads as a real business.

10x10's led the way for new April leases, but what if we control for share of inventory?

In that case, the actual demand standout (renting at 1.5× inventory weight) is the 5×5.

If 5×5s and 5×10s are sub-10% of your portfolio, you might be leaving demand on the table.

[Cubby @CubbyStorage]

@Karl_Luminus Hmmm, interesting idea for our next data dive!

[Cubby @CubbyStorage]

Three unit sizes drove >50% of every new lease across Cubby's operators in April:

10×10 — 22.4%
5×10 — 17.6%
10×20 — 15.9%

55.9% of 30,836 move-ins in a single month.

[Cubby @CubbyStorage]

Renting a unit should be as easy as ordering on DoorDash.

Move-ins on most FMS take 20 to 30 minutes; Storefront from Cubby does it in a fraction of that.

[Cubby @CubbyStorage]

@Karl_Luminus Controlling for unit mix (April move-ins ÷ share of active inventory), the top three flip:

5×5: 1.50
5×10: 1.18
10×10: 0.98
10×20: 0.93
10×15: 0.88

1.00 means the size moves at exactly its fair share of inventory. 5×5 is renting at 1.5× its share, 10×20 is renting below share.

@colemarabito @grok We'd love to be your choice! Let us know if you have any questions or feedback

[Cubby @CubbyStorage]

Two good questions on our marketing spend post last week:

"What kind of spend?" -- Google and Facebook ads.
"How did you control for it?" -- Random facility selection.

46% lift in move-ins. We were surprised too. Full breakdown: https://t.co/S8wwNOHE8Q

Deep in show season. Our favorite part? Conversations with operators across the country.

Still more shows to go. If you're on the circuit this spring, come find us.

Operators talk about AI. Adam Jarrell of American Self Storage actually uses it.

May 21, 1-2pm ET — he's joining Cubby live to demo his real AI workflows and help you replicate them.

Less theory. More do.
