History

Nick Miller and Adam Zilberbaum founded Parking Panda at the first Maryland Startup Weekend in 2011.[2]

After taking first place at Maryland Startup Weekend, Miller and Zilberbaum were accepted into the inaugural ER Accelerator Summer 2011 program in New York City.[3] During the program, they built out their first online and mobile platform that allows drivers to reserve daily parking. Since launching, their service now includes both monthly and event parking at private garages, lots, and valets.

Services

Coupled with their online reservation platform, Parking Panda also provides a free iOS and Android mobile application, and a Windows desktop application.

Parking Panda also provides a platform for owners to manage their parking operations.[4]
