Young Upstarts takes a peek at Philadelphia's Storably,
launched in September by Wharton graduates and on the verge of bringing its platform -- likened to Airbnb for storage -- to other markets.
The founders started working in a basement from May this year, putting together mockups and building the site with an off-shore development team. However, the quality wasn’t quite what they expected. Kowitt and Gupta then hired a full-time VP of Engineering, Nick Shiftan, who rebuilt the site from scratch. They later brought on Brendan Lowry as a community manager. The site was formally launched in Philadelphia on September 21, and the startup intends to expand nationally soon.
