Episode Details

I sit down with Tyler Harper, Co-Founder of Homegrown Storage, for a fascinating look at how technology is finally providing an operating arbitrage in tertiary markets . Tyler's team, largely composed of Georgia Tech engineers, has built a platform that enables them to acquire roughly one facility per week while operating 30+ stores with only five people .

We discuss the grit it took to sell their retirements and pitch 200 family offices, and how they eventually found "believers" who saw the same potential for tech-driven excellence . Tyler explains the philosophy behind Patchwork Labs, their software arm that "quilts" data from FMS systems and video feeds to automatically coordinate repairs and sales without human bottlenecks .
