CarHarbor is a new tool in the planning stages that will let people list and sell parking spaces when they are not using them. The company plans to create a vast inventory of available parking spaces starting with the San Francisco area. CarHarbor explained their mission in a recent blog post.
CarHarbor wants to tap into the everyday frustrations we all face when it comes to parking our cars. We are developing an online tool that can resolve those frustrations. CarHarbor should demonstrate that reasonable people can cooperate to benefit their community and themselves.
We want to engage you in this process so that our solutions can be highly responsive to the diverse set of parking problems people face. Our initial focus is on San Francisco, where we're based, but our interests are national if not global in nature too.
TechCrunch says advisors for CarHarbor include Craig Newmark, Jim Lazarus and Scott Rafer. Craig Newmark is the founder of Craiglist so there are some big names involved with this new project.
