Storj and Maidsafe

What Is Storj?

I read the post made by one of the co-founders of Storj on the google development forum but i am still a little confused as to what storj is. He mentions that storj is an open source software company building applications on the maidsafe protocol. They are crowdfunding at the moment for the development of a p2p storage application, but doesn’t maidsafe have there own storage solution on the SAFE network? Where does Storj fit in to all of this?
