Are you tired of looking for parking space? Frustrated about paying way too much for parking, while still having to walk for blocks to get where you’re going? Hate seeing so much space go to waste? This is your chance to fix it, once and for all. 

Sounds cool, but how?

Believe it or not, most parking spaces are going to waste, most of the time. Think of all those car parks around offices, residential buildings and commercial properties - are they really being used as much as they could be? Exactly, most of the time they’re empty. Sure the office car park is full during work hours, but it’s empty at night. And those spaces on the street? Empty during the day while everyone’s at the office, but completely packed at night. Or think back to the last time you went to a concert hall - late to the concert because you were looking for a place to park, even though you passed dozens of empty spaces in underground office car parks. I think you can see where we’re going with this…

Imagine a solution that allows any property manager to turn their empty car park into cold hard cash, while potentially doubling the number of available parking spaces in some areas. A solution that integrates with pretty much any parking app on the market, that lets you reserve a parking space well ahead of time, and that works based on number plate recognition allowing for seamless access. A solution that is currently being implemented in more and more commercial and residential spaces and makes looking for parking a thing of the past. Great, now that you’ve imagined it, how about you help build it?

Not sure if you match all the requirements? Just give it a shot, motivation is the most important part of any skillset.
