Company profile
researched Sep 2026STB Technologies, operating as Secure the Bags, develops app-controlled smart locker towers for short-term, on-demand storage of personal belongings in places where people gather without a safe place to set things down, including venues, stadiums, transit hubs, trails, mixed-use developments, festivals and conferences. Each tower runs on internal battery power and connects over Bluetooth, so installation does not require power infrastructure at the host site; access is managed entirely through the company's mobile app, removing the need for an attendant, a physical key or a shared code.
The company frames its offering as applying the parcel-locker model to short-term storage of bags, coats and bikes. It is categorized as a consumer and commerce company with verticals in retail technology and IoT hardware, and is described as non-AI. Its stated addressable need is the daily demand for secure short-term storage at transit hubs, entertainment venues, workplaces and retail locations as urban mobility increases and traditional options such as coat checks and bag rooms remain limited.
Business model
STB Technologies operates a B2B2C model: it places its storage towers on host properties, which gain a largely passive revenue line, while end users pay to access lockers through the mobile app. Its customer profile is characterized as combining usage-based SaaS with hardware sales.
Revenue is generated from usage-based charges for locker access via the app together with hardware sales, with host properties receiving a share as a passive revenue line from each installed tower.
Traction
Public disclosure of commercial traction is limited; available records indicate an employee headcount of one and participation in the Build in Tulsa Techstars Accelerator.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history
Market position
A single-employee, early-stage private company positioned in the smart locker and micro-storage segment; comparable companies cited include CITY-LOCKER, Lockerpoint and ASSA ABLOY.
The towers require no external power or wiring and no on-site attendant, key or access code, which the company presents as enabling installation in locations that conventional coat checks, bag rooms or wired locker banks cannot serve.
Technology
The towers are self-contained hardware units powered by internal batteries and connected via Bluetooth, allowing placement without access to a property's electrical infrastructure. Locking and unlocking are handled exclusively through the Secure the Bags mobile app, eliminating keys, codes and staffed handoffs. The company's profile is tagged with IoT hardware, automated storage, usage-based billing and mobile-first attributes.
Go-to-market
The company markets directly to property owners and venue operators, positioning each installed tower as an added amenity and revenue source that requires no power infrastructure or on-site staffing.
Host properties and operators of places where people gather — stadiums and entertainment venues, transit hubs, trails, mixed-use developments, workplaces, retail locations, festivals and conferences — and, through them, the consumers who need to store a bag, coat or bike for a short period.
