SpareFoot.com, the leading online marketplace for self storage, announced today the closing of a $ 1.5M extension to its Series B round of funding, bringing the total round size to $ 3.5M. Silverton Partners and FLOODGATE led the round with participation from Capital Factory. SpareFoot will use the proceeds to diversify its product offering.
Across SpareFoot.com, SelfStorage.com and our other properties, we have the most consumer self storage traffic in the US of any independent site, said founder and CEO Chuck Gordon. Were looking forward to using the proceeds from this round to grow that business even more.
SpareFoot, founded in 2008, has grown to be the largest advertising network for self storage in the country.
SpareFoot is an exciting company because they have executed well enough to demonstrate market leadership in a short time," Kip McClanahan of Silverton Partners said. "The team and the culture are such that SpareFoot will likely become a real thought leader in the market as well."
