I'm 4 years into my Stuf Storage journey, and sharing my learnings and experiences with the Industrious team was a wonderful way to take a step back and reflect. We have come so far. Let's go! Thank you Anna Squires Levine for having me. #proptech #cre #realestate #startups #MBA #learning
Our M-Bee-A program (get it!?) is one of many unique learning & development programs at Industrious. We legitimately want to rocket people’s careers forward. We’re not just giving training. We’re giving people opportunities to stretch, explore, and grow in different directions (up, laterally, in place, or even in roundabout ways). It’s only fitting to our curious nature that we build most of our learning & development programs in-house. We’re really proud of them, we think they’re #SoIndustrious, and our employees get a lot of practical skillbuilding out of them. (At least, that’s what we’ve heard.) Learn more about a few of our signature L&D programs. Oh, and we're hiring! https://bit.ly/3BDnFC4

I had a blast a Blueprint last week. It felt like everyone in and around proptech was there. And I forgot how productive conferences can be if done the right way. Over 48 hours, this is what I accomplished: - Shared the Stuf Storage story thanks to a panel moderated by Jichao (Chao) Xu (+ Seth Priebatsch, Whitney Kidd, and Zach Alerhand) - Sat down for an interview with David Hirschman (excited to share that soon) - Enjoyed 2 wonderful dinners (with Jordan Moss + T.C. Ostrander and another with AJ Fang + trailblazing Asian VCs and startup founders) - Made my way across all the happy hours (special thanks to Brian Lerman) - Caught up with friends, business partners, and investors (the list is too long to tag!) Can't wait for next year. DM me if I missed you at the conference. #blueprintvegas #proptech #cre #realestate #startups #vc #lasvegas

Guess how long this transformation took...I'll update this post later this week with the answer. (Update: 2 weeks!) This is our largest location in NYC. It opened 6 months ago and is already over 80% occupied. We're trying several new ideas here: retail pop-up, vending machine, AI-powered security cameras, storage rack rentals, and more. Isolating our experiments to just 1 or 2 locations is key. Once they're vetted, we roll them out to the rest of the portfolio. CRE owners and enthusiasts, DM me to check it out in person. #startups #selfstorage #newyork #experiments #cre #realestate

When I started sending quarterly team surveys 3 years ago, the Stuf Storage team surprised me by asking for more in-person time -- requesting an office and more face-to-face workshops and offsites. I had assumed that, given our post-pandemic origins, everyone preferred remote work. Turns out, I was wrong. Thanks Commercial Observer and Philip Russo for sharing how our distributed and hybrid setup is powering our national growth. https://lnkd.in/eAQA9SEu #startups #cre #realestate #hybridwork #workplace

Cheers to being part of an amazing team that values a healthy and fun environment where: * I’m part of a team where I feel like I’m working with friends. * We collaborate with a shared purpose, free from office politics. * Our company off-sites are not just productive, but also incredibly fun and fulfilling—something I always look forward to. * I work with leaders who promote growth and embrace failure. * And the list goes on. Damn proud of my team! Stuf happens when you’ve got an amazing team. Stuf Storage

When we first launched Stuf Storage, our goal was to prove our concept across multiple markets. We wanted to demonstrate that our tech-enabled ops and proprietary software truly worked. While focusing on a single market might have been easier, expanding allowed us to validate our concept quickly, despite the many learnings and tweaks along the way. This strategy might not work for every early-stage business, but it was crucial for our growth. Today, we are doubling down on our existing markets to drive operational efficiencies in marketing, construction, and facility operations. At the same time, we're running a few experiments across our hyperlocal storage network that are only possible with some scale. If you’re a commercial real estate owner in NY, LA, SF, DC, Boston, Atlanta, or Seattle, please DM me. I’d love to connect and share more. #startups #selfstorage #cre #realestate #pmf

Last week, 3 people told me they saw Stuf Storage in the wild. They weren't looking for us, but they saw our signs on their way to and from work. It's incredibly satisfying when I get one of those emails or texts. We all live in the physical world, and seeing how my team's work in reimagining self-storage impacts how people live, work, and play is the ultimate reward as an entrepreneur. While commercial real estate often boils down to dollars and cents, I bet investors, developers, owners, and operators share a similar satisfaction in seeing their projects positively influence people and communities. If you're a real estate owner, DM me to learn more about monetizing your underutilized space as tech-enabled storage. #startups #selfstorage #cre #entrepreneurship #founders #realestate
