Ezra Box, a startup that has proclaimed itself the “Airbnb” for storage, connects Cornell students who need a place to store their belongings with other Cornell students who are either staying in Ithaca or leasing their houses for the summer. Malhotra said that while the company has received positive feedback from customers, the Ezra Box team is still working to improve. After students complained they couldn’t move boxes to the host, Ezra Box partnered with JoyRun to transport boxes for Ezra Box customers this summer. Ezra Box is looking to expand its model to other campuses, founders said, hoping to help other students at universities across the country. This summer, and in the future, the company plans to “serve more students and provide a cheaper alternative to storage,” Malhotra said.
