VEEPARKSolving the parking problem one driveway at a time

I need a space

99 % of parking in the US is FREE.

So, why is it that at least twice a week many of us find ourselves cruising for a spot free or paid, on-street or off-street?

When commuters were asked to rank the least pleasant part of the parking experience they said:

1. Difficulty finding a space2. Chance of getting a ticket3. Need to carry change

Notice that price doesn’t even make the top 3. In 2010, despite seeing some revenue decline due to the recession, the US parking industry saw $7.9 billion in revenue and 4.9 percent growth.

It’s all about location

Cruising for Parking: When commuters come to an area and cannot find parking they end up cruising in search. This is a

recurring experience for drivers in central business districts (CBD) and mixed use districts (MUD) like Midtown Atlanta and

Hollywood District (Portland, OR)

UCLA Professor Donald Shoup the widely-regarded expert in the economics and availability of parking estimates that as much as

30% of traffic in these areas may be due to the inefficient search for a parking space.

Collisions from cruising: Transportation researchers have found 15% to 20 % of all vehicle collisions (and 40% of mid block

collision) are associated with on-street parking movements. )a.k.a. looking for or getting in or out of a parking spot).

The VeePark Solution

Fringe parking is an area for parking usually located just outside CBD or in the residential side of MUD, most often used by suburban residents who work, shop or play in these hotspot urban areas.

VeePark is a revolutionary new way to solve the parking problem in major cities. Our services are beneficial to both drivers and non-drivers.

The idea is this: If you have a space that can be used for parking, share it with other drivers when you're not using it, and make some extra cash as a result.

Start-Up Summary

VeePark is currently looking for early stage funding to complete development and launch its Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The company plans to raise between $2500 and $5000 in the next month. This will allow us to hire on an additional developer to ensure launch of the VeePark service by the end of March. Based on conservative financial projections, the company should become profitable within six months of launch. Completion of the MVP will allow VeePark to use revenue and user input for Rapid Application Development (RAD). In conjunction with our Rapid Organic Development (ROD) growth strategy, the company hopes to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce risks.

MARKET SUMMARY

2010, the US parking Industry

Industry saw $7.91 billion in revenue, accompanied by modest growth of 4.9 percent. This growth can generally be attributed to resilience of Central Business Districts (CBD), colleges and universities, and hospitals. All of these traditional parking industry hotspots have been protected from the recession.

CBD and Mixed Use Districts (MUD)

In CBD and Mixed Use Districts (MUD) in particular, municipal run parking operations have seen rate hikes to the determent of the parking consumers given today’s economic climate. Such municipal run parking operations generally encompass street side parking which commuters place a premium on for short duration trips. Therefore, while 39% of private parking saw a decline in revenue last year, 46% of public parking saw an increase in revenue. Notable sources of revenue increase are Installation of new meters in locations previously not covered, like MUD (i.e. Midtown Atlanta), and smart meter technology that alerts traffic police when a vehicle has exceeded its allotted time. The most surprising thing about the industry, public and private, is that despite decreases in revenue and slowed growth due to the recession, only 7% of the industry decreased its rates. 66% kept rates the same and 27% actually increased their rates. Given the economic climate of today, VeePark has concluded that it is positioned to become the substitute of choice for our target market segment.

Meeting true market needs

VeePark providers of parking spaces are those fortunate enough to have found residence in and near CDB and MUD. They have sacrificed having a car often for the convenience of being close to work, event venues, and nightlife hot spots. VeePark seekers are those who are not so fortunate. They are seeking a simple solution to daily and specialty commuting needs via a device many carry more often than their wallet, purse or keys: their mobile phones.After adoption by the young we expect to see further adoption by those of older generations. This is current the trend with new technologies and applications.

Case Study: San Francisco

• Transit Use and proximity to Work and home: In the bay area, people who both live and work within a half-mile of transit are 10 times more likely to use transit.

• Vehicle ownership by proximity of home In the Bay Area, 30% of those who live within a half mile of transit do not own any cars. This about three times more zero-vehicle households than those living in urban areas further than a half mile from transit.

• Vehicle Ownership and Density and Transit: In the Bay area, Household with seniors own 31% fewer cars than household with n seniors.

• Bart and Parking Demand: Tods Reduce parking demand per household by 23%• Bart Neighborhood demographics: Among Bart Station residents, 40% choose to

live near Bart Station du to location and commuter choices• Higher Income= More Driving: Higher income household own significantly more

vehicles than lower income household. In the bay area, MTC quantifies the relationship between household income, travel behavior and vehicle trips based on results from the Bay Area Travel Survey. Household in the highest income quartile (earning >100K/yr) generate over 4 more vehicles trips per day (170% increase) than those in the lowest quartile(earning < 30k/yr). According to census 2000 data for the Bay Area, 15% of families making between 25k and 35K did not own any cars.

Competitors

ParkWhiz.com is capable of facilitating peer-to-peer transactions, it has positioned itself as a online solution for the parking industry incumbents. ParckCirca.com Is our closest competitor and has already released a native app. In order to overcome the first mover advantage they have VeePark will need create a pull in our primary customer segment in all 34 target cities by reaching them through their primary information sources independent newspapers, online social networks and the event and nightlife venues they patronize.Both of these services however have one flaw credit accounts. You have to store credit/money with the service provider and wait until you can withdraw.

34 Largest Urban Markets

Each of the cities listed has a CBD population over 400,000.

In order to overtake competitors VeePark will launch a massive PR campaign targeting social network sites, College and Independent Newspapers, Event Venues, Event Organizers Stadiums, Sport Teams, Nightlife Promotion groups, and Nightlife venue owners. In areas with high walkability score within each of the 34 seed cities. Instead of reaching out to early tech adopters via tech blogs and tech-news sites we will instead go immediately after our targets ser segment.
