Our Vision.
We see a world where self-storage becomes a universally accessible amenity that tackles the challenges of modern city living faced by coming generations.
Better for your mind
In metros like Vancouver, rising housing costs strain residents, making access to extra space an essential for mental health. Our plans offer an entry point that ensures you don't need a second rent to enjoy storage services.
Better for your lifestyle
Kayaking, traveling, rooftop camping—everyone should enjoy these activities. Don't let square footage limit your lifestyle. With our subscription model, you can store items you normally wouldn't have space for.
Better for your city
Warehousing transforms city landscapes by maximizing space efficiency, clearing the way for vibrant housing and lush parks, rather than the presence of cumbersome self-storage facilities with unused space.
Our Founders.
Curious about who's holding onto your stuff? Here's a bit about the people at Cache Depot and how it all started.
Ivan Y
Co-founder, COO
If you want your items looked after with the utmost care, look no further than Ivan. As the former director of warehousing for a large manufacturer, Ivan spent a decade overseeing top-tier brands like Canada Goose, MEC, and OVO. Fun fact: He also has a degree in fashion design from LaSalle!
Kaya G
Co-founder, CEO
Meet Kaya, our techie at Cache Depot. With a Computer Science degree from UBC and a track record as a successful independent iOS game developer, she's got the know-how on app design and development. Now, she's driving forward to develop Cache Depot's digital products.
2013 - 2023 Pre-Cache Depot era
Ivan's extensive warehousing experience started 10 years ago. Previous to founding Cache Depot, he lead the warehousing division for a large manufacturer in Vancouver, handling storage and distribution for well established brands like Canada Goose, MEC, and OVO. Meanwhile, Kaya graduated from UBC with a degree in Computer Science and has since been an independent game developer, launching various iOS titles.
March 21st 2023 The fateful moving day
As Ivan and Kaya moved, they witnessed the exhausting process of renting a storage unit: misleading size calculators, too small or too big unit options, rental contracts, hidden fees for locks and set-up, and you can't overlook the steep Vancouver prices! With Ivan's warehousing knowledge and Kaya's background with experiential products, they knew there was a better way.
June 2023 The experiment
After a few months intense market research, Ivan and Kaya decided to offer storage services to friends, family and a few external customers to gather data and establish product market fit.
Oct 2023 - Now Cache Depot is founded
After seeing success in the soft opening, Cache Depot becomes official. In a short amount of time, we've "cached" thousands of items for happy customers, offering Vancouver residents access to an amenity we strongly believe is a necessity to modern city living. We march forward in establishing multiple locations in various cities.
