July: win up to $300 as a first host

Hello OurSpace Community,

July is here, and we're excited to share a big OurSpace milestone: we are now available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in Canada. This means more people across Calgary can now download the app, explore the platform, and be part of building a more local, flexible way to share storage space.

With Stampede season bringing extra energy into the city, July feels like the perfect time to think about the spaces we already have and how they can be put to better use. Whether it's a garage, basement, shed, spare room, driveway, or even a spot for seasonal gear and cowboy boots, OurSpace is helping people see unused space in a new way.

Community spotlight: our first app users

This month, we want to give a special thank you to everyone who downloaded the OurSpace app, created an account, explored the platform, and started moving through the host onboarding process. Your support is helping shape OurSpace from an idea into a real community-powered platform.

Coming November 1: our first host contest

Starting November 1, the first 100 verified Alberta hosts who complete onboarding and verification, publish an eligible listing and keep it live for 30 days can enter for a chance to win one of three cash prizes: $300, $150, or $100!

If you have extra space, now is a great time to get your listing ready. See how the contest works.

For hosts: become one of our first 100 Alberta hosts

We're focused on helping more Calgary homeowners discover the value of the space they already have. We're offering 1-on-1 support for account setup, host onboarding, and listing creation, and when our host contest opens on November 1, the first 100 verified Alberta hosts who complete onboarding and verification, publish an eligible listing and keep it live for 30 days can enter for the chance to win one of three cash prizes!

For renters: OurSpace is growing

As we continue building our network of Calgary hosts, renters will soon be able to discover more local storage options across the city.

Download the app, create an account, and be one of the first to explore OurSpace as new listings become available.

A message from the founders

Dear OurSpace Community,

After launching on iOS in June, we're proud to share that OurSpace is now available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in Canada!

This month, we're working to welcome our first 100 Alberta hosts onto the platform and help more people see the value in the space they already have. OurSpace is built around the idea that unused space can be an opportunity for extra income and something helpful for someone nearby.

We're offering 1-on-1 support for account setup, host onboarding, and listing creation. We know trying something new can feel like a lot at first, so we want to make the process as simple and personal as possible. We're also getting ready to launch a host contest on November 1, where the first 100 eligible hosts who publish a listing will be entered for the chance to win one of three cash prizes!

Behind the scenes, we've also been working on a new app update designed to make OurSpace smoother and easier to use. The upcoming update will include:

• Seamless login through Google
• User verification at booking confirmation
• Refreshed styling in the browse section
• Several minor bug fixes and app experience improvements

Building OurSpace has been a journey filled with learning, patience, and a lot of behind-the-scenes work, but the encouragement from our community continues to remind us why we started. Our goal has always been to create something useful, local, and meaningful.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We're excited for what July is bringing, and even more excited for what's ahead as we continue growing OurSpace across Calgary!

With gratitude,

Danielle & Seth, Co-Founders, OurSpace

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
