SpareFoot boasts the largest selection of storage units with real-time pricing and availability on the web. We also offer a suite of industry-leading web marketing tools for storage operators, and have been chosen as a preferred partner by more major online brands than any other storage company.

Founded in 2008 by then-UCLA students Chuck Gordon and Mario Feghali (aka Chario), SpareFoot originated as a person-to-person storage website that helped people rent extra space for storage in private residences. Then we realized there was a larger opportunity for this platform in the traditional self-storage industry.

After being accepted to the Capital Factory’s startup incubator program in Austin, TX, SpareFoot soon found itself backed by $4.5 million in funding from RSH Ventures, Kip McClanahan, Silverton Partners, and FLOODGATE.  A few years (and smart business partnerships) later, SpareFoot had moved into it’s new downtown office in Austin. Boasting just north of 50 employees SpareFoot is over double the size of it’s nearest competitor, and we’re just getting started.
