A trip to a music festival in Maryland about two years ago helped solidify Noah Applebaum’s idea for a startup business.
While driving near the crowded festival in Baltimore, “I saw people standing in their driveways, holding signs that said ‘$5 parking here,’ ” said Applebaum, a computer science and math major at the University of Richmond.
Applebaum thought: In a world where people are using digital technology to catch rides and rent out their homes, why not do the same for parking?
So Applebaum has partnered with fellow University of Richmond student Chris Cushman, a computer science major, to develop ParkShare, a mobile, peer-to-peer application that allows users to rent out property they own for parking.
