What Stow Simple does

Stow Simple is a Miami-based valet self-storage company founded in 2015 by siblings Jorge and Silvia Camps. The company picks up customers' belongings at their door, stores them in a climate-controlled warehouse maintained at 55-85°F with 24/7 monitoring, and redelivers items on demand, eliminating the need for customers to transport items to traditional self-storage facilities. Service is limited to Miami-Dade County neighborhoods including Brickell, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, South Miami, and Pinecrest, and the company is supported by 1-10 employees.

Stow Simple's technology stack centers on an online booking and account management platform combined with bar-coded bin tracking for inventory management and a Lookbook visual catalog feature that lets customers view photos of stored items and request specific returns. The product portfolio includes tiered residential storage plans (Bin Plan at $6/bin/mo with a $30 minimum, Hall Closet at $55/mo, Walk-In Closet at $99/mo, and Small Room at $145/mo), plastic bin rental for residential moves, office crate rental for commercial relocations priced $455-$1,599 for 3-week periods, a specialized University of Miami student storage program from $250 per summer, and the Urbin Closets sub-brand offering on-demand storage units starting at $49/mo. Heavy-duty reusable plastic bins rated for 400 uses are provided free with storage.

Revenue is generated through monthly storage subscriptions (with a 3-month minimum commitment and $30 monthly minimum), per-trip pickup and delivery fees ($80 for single-person delivery or $125/person/hour for larger plans), and ancillary charges for overweight bins, empty bin pickups, unreturned bins, and disposal. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with a self-serve online booking platform supplemented by phone-based sales at (888) 544-6050. Customer segments span individual Miami-Dade residents (primary), University of Miami students, small-to-medium businesses needing office relocations, cruise ship workers, and realtors via the Realtor Rewards referral program. The company has operated without institutional funding beyond an $18,000 prize won at the 2016 Babson College Rocket Pitch Competition.

Broad incumbents

• Public Storage: Public Storage is the largest publicly traded self-storage REIT with thousands of facilities across the U.S. It competes for the same end-customer storage dollar but through drive-up facilities rather than valet pickup, making it the dominant incumbent Stow Simple differentiates against.
• CubeSmart: CubeSmart is a publicly traded self-storage REIT with hundreds of facilities nationwide. It addresses the same storage need but through self-service drive-up units, representing the legacy model Stow Simple is repositioning against with its valet approach.
• Extra Space Storage: Extra Space Storage is a major self-storage REIT with nationwide facility coverage. While it operates a traditional facility model rather than valet, it competes head-to-head with Stow Simple for Miami-area residential and small-business customers.
• PODS: PODS provides portable storage containers delivered to the customer's door for loading, then transported to a storage facility or new home. It overlaps with Stow Simple's moving and storage use cases for residential and small-business customers, though via containers rather than valet pickup.
• SmartStop Self Storage: SmartStop Self Storage is a multi-state self-storage operator with facilities across the U.S., including in Florida. It serves the same residential and small-business storage demand through traditional drive-up units, competing for customers Stow Simple targets in Miami-Dade.

Direct peers

• Clutter: Clutter is a venture-backed valet storage and moving company operating across multiple U.S. metros. It offers door-to-door pickup, online inventory, and climate-controlled storage—the same core model Stow Simple runs in Miami, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• MakeSpace: MakeSpace is a national valet storage and logistics startup that picks up, stores, and delivers customers' belongings on demand. Like Stow Simple, it competes on convenience and digital inventory management, but operates at much greater scale across multiple cities.
• Closetbox: Closetbox provides full-service valet storage with online inventory and on-demand delivery in select U.S. metros. Its service model, target customer (urban residents), and pricing structure closely mirror Stow Simple's residential offering.

Emerging players

• Sparefoot: Sparefoot is an online marketplace that aggregates self-storage inventory across operators and helps customers compare and book units. It has historically featured Stow Simple in coverage and competes for the same storage demand via discovery rather than first-party service.
• Neighbor: Neighbor is a peer-to-peer storage marketplace that connects customers with individuals who have spare space (garages, basements, driveways). It targets the same end need—affordable, local storage—and overlaps with Stow Simple's residential and SMB segments, though with a different supply model.
