BoxBox

Thanks, Flashpoint Venture Capital team, for joining us in Ülemiste! Yesterday's conversations about the future of warehousing in Poland and beyond were enlightening! 🐠 It was great to exchange insights on our progress and introduce our beloved office goldfish. #storage #innovation

🇫🇮🇪🇪 Handshakes in Finland with our key partners at iLOQ. We were thrilled to see new features to improve the safety and access of BoxBox units! Soon, all BoxBox facilities will open with iLOQ! 🔓📲 We are both looking forward to achieving great things together.  #partnership #innovation #BoxBox #iLOQ

In the era of hybrid work, it's still about people and human connections. Our London and Tallinn teams spent last week together, and we can say that nothing beats in-person meetings. ⚽  We shared meals and stories and, of course, watched football together. ️These face-to-face moments unite us and help us leap forward in product development. 🇳🇱 🇷🇴 And speaking of football, with Estonia and Finland out of the Euro 2024, our cheers are now for Romania and the Netherlands. Why? Because that's where our tech team's roots are. We're all about team spirit, both in work and play!

Turning the Tables. Startup founders are often on the receiving end of intense questioning from investors. But in June, something different happened. At the foundME event, our co-founder, Kevin, took a different role. Instead of being a founder searching for funds, he stepped into the spotlight as an interviewer. 😎 He had the unique opportunity to question Jone from FIRSTPICK and Helery from Practica Capital.   Amidst our negotiations with investors, the insights gained were invaluable. 🙏 Thank you to foundME for the invitation and CoinsPaid for the warm reception. ps.

The BoxBox Story so far: We are thrilled to share that Kevin and Robert were featured on the Ärigeenius podcast of the largest Estonian media, Delfi! ️ 🎙 Check out the insightful session, were they dived into how BoxBox is changing the #storage space industry. From the streets of #Espoo to the global stage, we've connected unused spaces with those who need them most. Our journey began with a simple realization: countless storage spaces and garages lay dormant worldwide. With a dash of innovation and community spirit, we made our first deals right in our backyard, bringing neighbours together. 🤝 But why stop at personal storage? We've expanded to serve business customers, tapping into the vast potential of storage solutions. It's not just about space; it's about the possibilities that lie within. As we enter new markets and maintain profitability from day one, our vision for BoxBox grows ever bolder. We're not just building a company but crafting a unicorn. Join us as we uncover the quirky and the quintessential stored away in these spaces, from hairdressing salons to the treasures of local businesses! A big thank you to Martha-Beryl Grauberg and Kaire-Külli Vaatmann for hosting us. 🎧 Tune in to the Ärikäik 44th edition for the full story behind #BoxBox – where every square foot tells a tale! #Innovation #PodcastHighlights #GeeniusPodcast #Entrepreneurship #Estonianmafia

Redefining Storage: While the term #selfstorage has been widely used to describe facilities offering storage solutions, this label is accurate only for private clients storing their goods. For us at BoxBox (and many others in the industry), a significant part of the business comes from corporate clients - entities far from the 'self.' It's time to adopt a more fitting term: the #storage industry. Why Storage Makes Sense By embracing the term storage, we acknowledge the diverse sectors we serve and invite all stakeholders to participate in this redefinition. The storage sector encompasses not only individual renters but also the myriad industries that rely on our services. The name reflects the professionalism and commercial nature of the transactions, aligning the industry's identity with its users. It's not just a suggestion, it's a necessity. The industry must embrace this change and move forward with a name that truly reflects its diverse clientele and professional nature. The time for this change is now. #BoxBox

Thinking about entering the booming self-storage industry? Here is the blueprint 🔷🔷 to success, inspired by last week's event of Janus International Europe Ltd that Robert and Tarmo attended. ⭐ LOCATION: Choose a spot on a main arterial road for maximum exposure. 🔷 Visibility: Ensure your facility is easily seen and recognized by passersby. ⭐ Community: Embed your facility within the local community fabric. Get involved in local business awards and community events. 🔷 Digital Presence: Allocate 80% of your ad spend to digital platforms like Google. ⭐ Customer Reviews: Encourage and showcase client testimonials. 💚 ⭐ Sustainability: Plan for net zero with eco-friendly features like solar panels. And if you are looking for ways to turn your properties into storage -- we have a platform to collaborate. #BoxBox #SelfStorageSuccess #StorageBoom #BusinessGrowth Photo from the presentation of Portugal's KUBOO Self-Storage - a company that has checked many of those seven points above.

🇵🇹 Thrilled to share insights from an incredible few days spent in Lisbon, where we joined Janus International Europe Ltd for an in-depth exploration of the European storage industry. The journey was filled with valuable lessons and new partnerships. Reflecting on the experience, we are leaving the town with two pivotal insights: 🚀  We're at the dawn of a self-storage revolution in mainland Europe, poised for unprecedented growth in the coming years. 🚀  Success of a single self-storage facility hinges on one critical factor: location. It's not just important; it's everything. Captured in the photo are our visionary Robert and Adrian Starling, Sales Director of Janus International, who are shaping the future of our industry. #StorageInnovation #EuropeStorageBoom #SelfStorage

🙏 As the slide behind our co-founder Kevin Kaldalu says, thanks to everyone involved in the SuperFinns program, which reached its Grand Finale yesterday. It was truly a learning and growth journey. And not only internally --> our revenues grew from almost zero when we applied to over 50K per month during the program. 🚀🚀🚀 Thank you for sharing your wisdom and guidance, Dr. Julianna Borsos, Sakari Pihlava, Ali Omar, and Hanna Henell. Here's to thinking BIG with Kasvu Open, Inka Hyvönen & Nordea, Vesa Riihimäki

WHAT A WEEK! In addition to many meetings with investors and entrepreneurs at Latitude59, we saw major new properties coming to the platform :) But in Tallinn, at Latitude59, the BoxBox car was surely one of the most sought-after pieces of the show. For the curious with whom we had no chance to speak - we do not make electric vehicles or self-driving software. We offer a solution for boxes. 🎁 🎁 BoxBox is a peer-to-peer marketplace for storage - thanks Mike and Wallace for polishing work! After Latitude59 our founder Markus had time for some chess with one of the biggest social media stars in the country, former PM Jüri Ratas. #LeanStartup #HackingConferences
