ParkatmyHouse.com An online peer-to-peer marketplace that permits drivers to book parking spots situated predominantly at private properties rather than in parking lots or on-street. At the same time as generating revenue for property owners, ParkatmyHouse aims to realise savings for drivers by allowing them to park on parking spots that are otherwise poorly utilized. ParkatmyHouse claims to be the world’s largest marketplace for parking with over a quarter of a million customers. The company was founded by Anthony Eskinazi in September 2006 after he experienced parking difficulties while attending a baseball game in San Francisco. In July 2011, ParkatmyHouse raised venture capital from BWW i Ventures, the venture capital arm of BMW. In late 2012, ParkatmyHouse formed a partnership with Transport for London, SSE plc and chargepoint manufacturer, Chargemaster, to install free electric vehicle charge points on the driveways of property owners currently renting out their driveways using the website. Once installed, the charge points can be reserved online by third parties using the ParkatmyHouse website. (source: Wikipedia.com)
