StowShare – The Airbnb of Storage

In plain words

StowShare is a marketplace that connects people who have unused storage space with those who need it. Launched in 2020, the platform operates similarly to Airbnb but for storage units rather than accommodations. It serves both individual property owners looking to monetize spare space and renters seeking affordable storage solutions. The service aims to make storage more accessible and flexible than traditional self-storage facilities.

It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
