All Storage Start-Ups Historically Known So Far: 1,056, and 508 Alive

Only four born in 2020 and just one in 2021

Here we are reporting on how many storage start-ups were born each year from 1966 to 2021.

At this time, we discovered no one in 2022.

Note that, for the most recent years, there will be more than that as others are up to know unknown because they are currently in stealth mode and didn’t reveal their existence.

97 is the record number of emergences of new start-ups, in 2010. Later, since 2013, this number constantly decreased as it’s clear that there are less and less dramatic advancements in storage able to revolutionize this business.

The total number of storage star-ups discovered is 1,056, including 45 where born date is unknown, explaining why only 1,011 are listed below.
