Why Use Stasher?
Trust is at the heart of what we do. We work with respected brands and vetted businesses. Our 4.8/5 review score is a testament to this. Our customer support is multi award-winning. Each bag is also fully insured up to £1000. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Stasher proudly stands with local businesses, to help them get back on their feet. We will uphold the highest hygiene standards to do this in the safest way possible.
The lightbulb moment
How did it all start? People were always asking to store their stuff at Anthony's home near King's Cross. When a friend asked, Anthony replied "Sure, but I'm charging you for it". This joke was the lightbulb moment. On 21 September 2015, Jake and Ant, at the time roommates at Oxford, incorporated CityStasher Ltd (now Stasher).
Prototyping and Expansion
We worked on the prototype while we finished our studies. Over the summer we sent a cold email to the CEO of Big Yellow Storage, James Gibson - he loved the vision and joined as our first investor. We turned our prototype into a fully functioning business. 2017 exceeded all our targets and the VC world took notice.
Venture Investment
Howzat Partners (Trivago's first investors), VentureFriends, and Charlotte St Capital all invested to help us take things to the next level. We've gone from a team of cofounders to the awesome team below. Our expansion has taken us all over Europe, and into North America, Australia, and Asia. We won Expedia's Hotel Jumpstart competition as well as Phocuswright Battleground Europe. We raised our review score to 4.8/5 and won Feefo's Gold Service Award 3 years in arow.
World Domination
In January 2020, Stasher closed a $2.5m funding round, led by Venture Friends, with investors from Hotels.com and Spotify participating. Our growth has seen us partner with companies including Hotels.com, Klook and Marriott, as well as brands like Premier Inn, Expedia and Accor. With this round, we plan to add more high calibre partners, grow our team and expand to 10,000+ cities. Never let it be said we're not ambitious.
