Greetings!

Each week we share a Chicago company with you. We hope that you will benefit from their services and get to know, partner, meet with or invest in these companies. 
What does SpotHero  do?
SpotHero

 

SpotHero is a platform that efficiently connects parking demand and parking supply. They are a website that lets buyers find the perfect parking spot whether they are going to a Cubs game or going downtown for the day. Users compare parking spots so they can find the best priced option closest to where they are going.  Don't worry about finding a spot last minute, they've got you covered. SpotHero makes parking easy.  

 

SpotHero has received awesome validation this summer: winners of the inaugural  Apps4Chicago Metro Contest and great Fox coverage. 

 

Why do you care?

 

  • SpotHero makes parking more practical.  Know where you're going and how much you are paying so that you can enjoy yourself.
  • Parking is a pain.  SpotHero's own problems with parking have led to thousands of dollars of tickets and car damage, so now they have a better way to park. 
  • Life is hard enough and parking should be easy and convenient.

If you want to post your parking spots or if you just have a question please email Jeremy@spothero.com or Mark@spothero.com.  Or they can be reached by phone at 312.566.SPOT (7768).
