Ep 85: Interview with Tom McLeod, founder of Omni
Nobody likes dealing with storage units for a bunch of reasons but millions of American's still have one. Putting your stuff into boxes, driving 15 minutes to the nearest storage facility and then unloading them is a task nobody enjoys. Then what happens when you need something in one of those boxes? Do you go back to the storage unit and rummage through the boxes hoping to miraculously find the item you're looking for? Do you go buy a new item because the current process is just too time consuming and too many headaches?
What if there was a company that came to your house, packed up your stuff, took pictures of each item, categorized them perfectly and then hauled them away? Wouldn't that be perfect? What if that same company offered an on-demand service where you could have any of your boxes or individual items returned to you at the press of a button? Sounds too good to be true right?
Welcome to Omni, your on-demand storage company that promises to make your life so much easier when it comes to moving, packing and storing your personal belongings.
In this episode I spoke with Tom McLeod the founder of Omni. We discussed in detail this new business model for the $35 billion physical storage industry and why he decided to launch this company with his co-founders. The company has already gained significant traction which helped them raise $10 million from some very prominent investors. We talked about Omni's mission, building culture, growth and marketing, the pricing model, the future of storage, how and when to expand, disrupting an old industry with innovation and so much more.
