We had the good fortune of connecting with Valentina Grajales and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Valentina, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
THE VAULT HOUSE emerged out of a pressing need that my business partner and I personally encountered when seeking a safe deposit box. Recognizing the dwindling availability of this service at traditional banks due to their shifting priorities, we realized that many individuals faced challenges accessing secure storage for their valuable belongings. Furthermore, the remaining options often entailed lengthy waiting lists and restrictive eligibility criteria.

Motivated by this realization, my business partner and I embarked on an extensive study of the industry, aiming to devise a viable solution. This marked the inception of THE VAULT HOUSE, a culmination of two years’ worth of tireless efforts and meticulous planning. Throughout this journey, we assembled a remarkable team comprising experts in various fields, including legal, design, operations, security, and technology.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I owe my current success and the person I have become today to the unwavering support and guidance of two exceptional women: my grandmother and mother. Their influence and teachings have been instrumental in shaping my journey and empowering me to pursue my dreams.

From an early age, my grandmother imparted invaluable wisdom, nurturing my curiosity and resilience. Her unconditional love and belief in my potential fueled my ambition. Similarly, my mother’s unwavering dedication and sacrifices have been a constant source of inspiration. Her unwavering faith in me, coupled with her profound knowledge and guidance, have equipped me with the skills and determination necessary to overcome challenges and forge my own path. I am forever grateful to these remarkable women for instilling in me the values and knowledge needed to navigate life’s complexities and achieve my goals.
