Stora is building the operating system for self storage, and in the process, revolutionizing a worldwide industry.

In just under a year we’ve launched a full self-service platform that enables storage operators worldwide to create their own website, accept online payments, automate entry to their facilities, and much more. Dozens of operators have already seen the value of Stora and become paying customers, but there’s a tonne more value we want to add. That’s why we’ve raised capital, to grow our small, five-strong team, and speed up the development of the Stora product.

The Origin Story

It all began back in June 2019, when our CEO Gavin decided to open a self storage facility in Portadown. His goal was to make his business as automated as possible but he couldn’t find the software package to make it happen. So he worked with a few of the founding team to hack together something that just about did what he needed. It worked a treat, and the facility filled up quickly.

The following April Gavin decided to share what he’d achieved with the industry via a blog article detailing how he automated his self storage business. It turned out lots of other self storage operators wanted to do the same thing and use his software. Unfortunately, it wasn’t exactly the white-label platform it needed to be. So we started again and Stora was born.

The Product

Stora is a Ruby on Rails app with a sprinkling of Stimulus JS. The easiest way to describe it is “the Shopify of Self Storage”. It has a Backoffice where operators can manage their business, a Storefront they can customize to market and sell as they see fit, and a customer portal where all those people clamoring for space can manage their bookings.

The scope beyond that is wide reaching. From native apps to marketplaces. Maybe there’s even hardware in our future… If you like the sound of working on an exciting product like this, then now’s the time to join. You get in on the ground floor and come along for the ride as we try to build one of N.Ireland’s most successful technology companies.

The Company

  • We operate a 4-day work week.

  • Remote-first by design. Office always optional.

  • We have an optional “Team IRL Day” where we rent a space in Belfast and give everyone the opportunity to get out of the house and talk to each other face-to-face.

  • You’ll be working with GavinStevenPhilWill and Mark.

  • We’re product people who have been doing this kind of thing for a long time. We’ve built financial systems, consumer products and beyond. Things like PiggyPotYomoLowdown and Rotor.
