Lofty

Lofty, operating under the domain lofty.paris, was a service provider in the on-demand, self-storage market, primarily targeting individuals and entrepreneurs within Paris. The company was founded in 2014 by Cedric Naintre.

The business model centered on providing a convenient, web-based application for managing personal and business storage. Clients could arrange for the collection of surplus goods, which would then be transported to and held in a secure, local storage facility. This service allowed users to manage their storage needs dynamically, adjusting the volume as required, and to retrieve items without physically visiting the storage location. The entire process was facilitated through Lofty's digital platform.

Financially, the company was backed by venture capital, securing a Seed Round on February 1, 2016. Its investors included notable institutions such as Appy Ventures, Le Village by CA, and IronCapital. Despite its initial funding and business concept, corporate records indicate that Lofty ceased operations, with its status listed as 'Out of Business' on October 4, 2022.
