Adverank, the AI-driven digital advertising platform, purpose-built for self storage and real estate portfolios, just announced the close of a seed investment round, led by a syndicate of 10 industry leaders representing 650+ facilities, including multiple customers, past chairmen of the national Self Storage Association, and members of the Large Operators Council.
This strategic investment marks a significant milestone in Adverank’s mission to transform how operators deploy and measure digital advertising performance, leveraging AI-powered insights to drive occupancy, optimize spend, and maximize returns at the property level.
“We’re incredibly excited by the momentum building in our business and what lies ahead,” said Jason Zickler, Co-Founder and CEO of Adverank. “This funding represents more than capital, it’s a strong endorsement from operators and industry insiders who understand what it takes to succeed in today’s competitive environment. With their backing, support, and expertise, we’re scaling a solution built for portfolio managers, digital marketers, and asset owners who need real performance, not just dashboards.”
Leading the investment group is Tim Springer, Founding Partner of AVAD Capital and Avid Storage, a repeat investor and trusted advisor who also led Adverank’s pre-seed round.
“Adverank is building the future of self-storage marketing,” said Springer. “I’ve supported the company since day one because they’ve delivered real results for Avid Storage, and now we’re doubling down to take that impact even further into the self storage industry and beyond.”
The funds from this round will be used to accelerate go-to-market expansion, including scaling customer success and sales operations, and to broaden Adverank’s footprint across the national self-storage market. The company also plans to enhance its product offering to support multi-site operators and institutional-grade reporting.
The Company has gained traction by helping operators reduce ad waste, boost conversions, and improve return on ad spend (ROAS) with AI-driven recommendations, integrated property data, and hands-on campaign execution support.
