Storage Scholars: Matt Gronberg (26)

April 21, 2025 • Erik Libby • Episode 34

Originally from Massachusetts, Matt dreamed of becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

He started hustling early, launching a car detailing business at 13, proving his sales skills at 14 by selling a record-breaking 88 football booster cards, and leading an initiative as a 17 year old to raise $175,000 for cancer research in one night.

His company Storage Scholars started in 2017 with $18,000, and has now grown into a $7 million in top-line revenue, serving 150 colleges nationwide.

He was featured on Fox News Business, shared a stage with Daymond John at Wake Forest’s Face to Face Speaker Forum, and even secured an investment from Mark Cuban on Shark Tank.

Matt is only 26 years old.
