STOW IT (doing business as STOWIT) is a Fort Collins, Colorado-based private company founded in 2017 that operates an online marketplace connecting individuals and businesses with underutilized space — such as garages, barns, and parcels of land — to travelers and other customers who need vehicle storage. Its primary commercial offering is affordable airport parking, positioned as a budget-friendly alternative to traditional on-airport or hotel parking lots, with monthly and long-term booking durations aimed at frequent flyers and extended-trip travelers.

The company's product surface is narrow and centered on a single core service line: airport parking reservations, distributed through direct-to-consumer self-serve booking on its website, stowit.com. There is no disclosed mobile application, no integration partnerships, no public API or SDK, no certifications, and no proprietary technology stack beyond the standard marketplace booking flow. Underlying technology is not characterized in available sources beyond the web platform itself. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Carmelo Mannino, who also serves as Chief Growth Officer, alongside co-founder and board member Devin Eldridge, with a headcount of 1–10 employees.

STOW IT has raised approximately $500,000 across five small funding rounds between 2016 and 2020 (investors undisclosed in all cases), and operates with no disclosed revenue, no enterprise customers, no awards or recognition, and no documented geographic footprint beyond its Fort Collins base. The revenue model is consistent with a marketplace take-rate or booking-fee structure typical of peer-to-peer storage platforms, though pricing is not publicly disclosed. The absence of any disclosed activity, funding, or strategic move since December 2020 leaves the company's current operating momentum unclear.
