SpotHero is an on-demand parking marketplace that enables drivers to reserve parking with convenient garages, lots and valets. Through its mobile app and website, SpotHero connects drivers with easy and affordable parking at more than 2,500 locations in 14 cities across the country including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and Boston. To date, SpotHero has helped park more than 3 million cars. The company is led by co-founders Mark Lawrence, CEO, and Larry Kiss, CTO.
SpotHero’s founders loved driving but hated parking. After too many parking tickets in Wrigleyville, they knew there had to be a better way to park so they started SpotHero.
SpotHero initially offered parking at private parking spots near Wrigley Field. Soon SpotHero was noticed by a major parking garage company who gave them access to their inventory of parking spots. This moved the company in a new direction by allowing SpotHero to help drivers find parking spots at garages on a much larger scale.
