Overview
We're running this fundraising campaign because we believe this could substantially improve air quality in our major cities, and make parking easier and more efficient. Imagine getting directions to your parking spot instead of your destination address. That's the promise and the power of what we call the APENet, or the Automated Parking Exchange network. We hope you'll believe in it too, because it will take a crowd to make it happen. Thank you for your support!
 

Here comes Xpot!

  • We're building a robust, cross-platform mobile app that could revolutionize how drivers find and share, public parking spaces, and help ease congestion and greenhouse gasses in our major cities! We need your help to grow and launch! We are here to disrupt a $100 billion industry that badly needs innovation. 
  • An amazing fact  is that 30% of vehicles driving on your city streets have already arrived at their destination: they're just driving around looking for a parking spot. Our parking network can reduce that by 5-6% so we spend less time looking for a parking space and reduce traffic congestion from this problem.

How does it work?

Share... Simply download the free app, verify your phone, and begin sharing your parking space location whenever you approach your car or turn the key. Xpot can work in the background, or you can easily notify nearby drivers with one tap.

Then Find. Then when you need to find the next nearby spot to park, the network shows and directs you to that location. Xpot doesn't reserve the space, so it could be taken by the time you get there.

  • Xpot could reduce the amount of time we spend looking for parking, reduce traffic congestion in your city, and reduce vehicle emission pollution in cities, by 3-5%. That's a huge win-win-win. It's simple, but powerful.
  •  The more of us who use Xpot to automatically (and anonymously) share our parking space, the better it Xpot will work when we need to find a parking spot.

 

  • Your contribution will make Xpot the coolest and simplest product possible. Xpot will save millions of hours of driving and millions of gallons of gas (and the resulting vehicle emissions) if implemented far and wide. This campaign is a way for us early adopters to join up and give Xpot the super powered launch it needs to reach that goal. 

 

  • We need to make Xpot a great mobile app from the get-go, so that's why we're running this campaign. We also need to spread the word with targeted and effective marketing, so some of the budget is set aside for that. We want to pour every dime we raise into making a world class, cross-platform mobile app and getting it into the hands of early adopters and evangelists, so it catches on like wildfire.

Contribute today and check out these awesome perks!

We've determined that we need $45K for app development to get the fantastic app we envision. Apps that deal with driving and networking need to be dead-simple and intuitive. The remaining budget will be frugally spent on scalability, legal and administration essentials, and a go-to-market strategy and ad buy. Because Xpot will work best with a certain critical mass in our target market, we need to give it a boost.

Every dollar you contribute gets us closer to the goal of making parking faster and easier, and reducing vehicle emissions and street traffic. If you live in a city or bustling town, you will probably benefit from Xpot when you need to park your car, and your city will benefit as well.

We are going to launch a beta version 'soft' launch around Christmas 2018, so it will be available in your app store early in 2019!

Other Ways You Can Help Xpot (remember: say 'spot'!)

We are super grateful for those dollars you can contribute. Here's other ways you can help make this campaign a grand slam home run:

  • Take a moment right now to share this to your social feeds, using the available Indiegogo tools! It gives us a huge boost when folks share the word!
  • Get on the email list. We want to update power users on our progress and announce the release of Xpot. Get informed when it's coming to your city! We value your privacy and won't cram your inbox. Scouts honor!
  • Tell us how we're doing. Your feedback is essential to goal of making this a reality. We welcome any and all feedback, questions, comments, and critiques.

We chose a fixed funding campaign because this is the minimum budget we need to achieve our goal of getting a product into the hands of users who will be the vanguard of a parking revolution. We only get funded if we hit our goal, so please be a backer and spread the word on social media and by word of mouth. Thank you.
