01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Callbox Storage was a Dallas-based startup offering on-demand, full-service self-storage. Customers booked online; Callbox picked up their belongings for free, stored them in climate-controlled warehouses, and delivered items back on demand. Pricing was dynamic and ZIP-code-based, with no long-term contracts, and customers could manage their inventory and schedule deliveries through a personal online account. The company targeted residents lacking adequate home storage and operated in Dallas, Austin, Houston, Phoenix and Seattle.
