Founder-led rounds on individual storage yards. Land, gravel, fence, gate, cashflow — a simple business in an industry most investors have never priced.
Every contractor with a truck, a trailer, an excavator or a stack of pipe has to put it somewhere. Almost nobody is building the somewhere.
Contractors, landscapers and trades are storing equipment on residential driveways and rented corners because nothing purpose-built exists near them.
Gravel, fencing, gates, lighting, cameras. No lifts, no climate control, no interior fit-out to blow the budget.
Institutional money chases indoor self-storage. Outdoor yards get treated as leftover land, which is exactly why the entry prices still make sense.
Chris bought his first location — 9.7 acres — for $470,000 and grew it into a $3.64M appraisal in three years. There are four yards operating now. He has done this with his own money before he did it with anyone else’s.
Every round is raised against a specific site. You see the parcel, the plan and the numbers for that yard, and you decide on that yard. Nobody is asking you to fund a fund.
Rounds are small and they fill from this list first, which is the whole reason the list exists.

Two minutes. It tells Chris what size you think in and which markets interest you.
Someone from the team calls to talk it through. Nothing is offered and nothing is signed on that call.
When a site fits what you said you wanted, you get the parcel, the plan and the numbers for it.
If you want in, it happens through the offering documents for that yard. That is the only place an investment is ever actually made.
