History and growth

edit

AirGarage was founded by Scott Fitsimones, Jonathon Barkl, and Chelsea Border in 2017.[3] The trio met and conceived the idea for AirGarage while attending Arizona State University, initially renting out driveway spaces near campus to college students.[3][1] The company offers parking operations, enforcement, and mobile payments to over 300 parking facilities.[1][4][2] After partnering with several nearby churches and Graduate Hotels locations to manage their parking operations,[5] the company began managing surface lots and garages.[4][5]

AirGarage has raised $40m from Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, and Headline[2][6][7] and has also received investment from angel investors.[1]

The company manages parking operations for major real estate firms including Hines and Greystar, as well as office campuses like Meta.[7]

AirGarage was on Forbes 30 Under 30 - Consumer Technology (2023).[8][2]
