Our Story
Start-up - 2021
In the school year of 2021 during our senior year, we were tasked with a class project to model a company around an idea or invention. Seeing a serious lack of student parking options affecting us all personally, we decided to find a way to help supplement it as much as possible. Attending York High School in Elmhurst IL, we looked at all the options we had to expand student parking opportunities and quickly came to the realization there is little to no space to expand parking lots due to the tight suburban surroundings like many schools in this nation. However, we could put these surrounding homes and their driveways to use when many are unused during school hours anyways due to work commutes.
We would be able to significantly impact the parking situation and there we had it. We went knocking around the neighborhood to gauge interest as well as recruit homes for our first auction, meeting so many amazing and supportive people along the way. We collected almost 20 spots by the time we were done and held a roughly put-together auction after running into issues with our original plan, the results were inspiring. Although surely having issues along the way we knew we could make it work.
