Today, cities are getting more compact and the number of cars on the road are increasing. As parking spots are apparently getting scarcer by the day, it has resulted in parking being one of the biggest problems in cities.
We believe this problem can be improved significantly by using the concept of sharing economies to optimize our parking resources.
Our first step was to identify a product opportunity in the parking space. We did this by doing a PEST (Political, Economic, Social, Technological) analysis. Based on that, we identified a POG (Product Opportunity Gap)
We discovered a viable and feasible opportunity in creating a service for renting out private parking spots. We then tested this concept via online surveys, speed dating and interviewing potential users.
