STORP2P makes it simple for renters to search, rent and access garage space.
- Soapy, on a mission to reduce the spread of disease by making hand-washing easier. The company provides regulatory compliant hand-hygiene stations, with 24/7 access to safe water and soap, anywhere in the world, including areas that are water scarce.
