Why join us?
We are changing the landscape of urban mobility by building the data infrastructure for the last missing piece — parking. We have built the largest real time parking availability data platform in the US with thousands of locations for cities (e.g., Miami, Santa Monica), airports (e.g., Boston, San Diego), universities (e.g., MIT), hospitals, parking operators, and garage owners. For the first time, cities and parking operators can make informed decisions for planning, operations, and pricing in real-time with the help of our products.
We've got some of the best people in both technology and business domains: MIT PhDs and data scientists, smart and driven software engineers, experienced transportation/urban mobility experts, seasoned business professionals who have scaled companies from a few million dollars of annual revenue to tens of millions.
We are backed by some of the top VCs and angel investors in the valley, including Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures (Keith Rabois), Slow Ventures (Sam Lessin and Will Quist), as well as Greg Brockman (former CTO of Stripe, Co-founder of Open AI).
