ParkWhiz

ParkWhiz is a marketplace for paid, public parking spots. Essentially its a catalog of city parking. The site allows people to search for parking spots by location via computer or mobile phone and it enables people who own spots to create listings for them and sell spots through the site. All results get shown to you on an intuitive map. ParkWhiz also partners with business and events to handle their parking sales. Currently they handle parking for the Chicago Lyric Opera and have handled the parking for events like TechCocktail.
