Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q and it costs me between 60 and 80 dollars to leave my car there each time. It's much cheaper to get The Uber ride for 15 bucks, the airport, and when I land another 15, so it's 30 versus 80. Why are you going all in on parking? I mean, are you, you don't think kind of Lyft and Uber and these companies are going to eat that market up?
A Um, you know, there's an interesting balance there. You've got a lot of frequent travelers who live too far away for that to be a cost-effective solution, and because our average, um, customer is a business traveler, they're only gone for three to four days on average. Um, and so when you look at that price compared to taking an Uber or Lyft, both directions, it's actually cheaper to go and park. And remember too, that these are business travelers, so they're getting reimbursed as well. Um, and they've been, they've been, you know, writing these off, um, to their travel account for many years. So it's something that they're used to paying. Um, there's no change there. And in fact, the demand for parking is increasing. The modernization projects that I mentioned At the top 20 airports, they all have, um, parking expansion projects, and these are based on a 15 airport study that was completed last year, um, in partnership with the U.S. government and, you know, some of these top airports. And it really does show that, um, parking demand is increasing, uh, fascinating enough.

Q And now is that, I mean, are you, is that normalizing out for things like population gain in a city or general population growth or like maybe per, like is the, I don't know what the metric is. It's a per capita airport car per month, right? Is that number going up?
A It is. Yeah. What's happening is, you know, travel, uh, tends to get a little cheaper each year, um, surprisingly, and, uh, more people are traveling. And so your, your millennial demographic, I think we just took over, um, as the most frequent business and pleasure travelers. And, uh, that demographic or that demographic and the ones younger are going to continue to increase based on at least the current studies that we've been looking at and what airports are looking at. So overall employments are growing by six percent. That means people boarding a plane. That's growing by a really nice steady six to eight percent, um, give or take the airport annually, um, and that's driving parking growth up anywhere from four to five percent per airport per year.

Q Oh my gosh. Come on. Okay. Now some, some people listening go, oh, that's so lazy. They must have poor communication skills. They won't really talk about who's going to bring more or less value. How would you, how would you kind of counter that?
A Um, I'd counter it by, you know, we are bootstrapped. So my, my two devs that are co-founders, they've been building everything for free. I've been closing deals and getting money and, you know, doing the strategy for free. Our branding and growth expert has been building this and making this shit beautiful. And our, uh, our COO has been making sure everything's balanced and a high level of attention to detail to legal stuff. So it's a, it's such a balanced team and nobody's asked for pay or reimbursement. Everybody's in it to win it for as long as we're in it. So It's a, it's hard to find a team like that. And we've all made pretty big sacrifices. So it was an easy decision.

Q 15, okay, 15,000. And, and who did you have to pay for, like, do you have to pay meter companies or anyone else to get those rights? Like, what was your biggest costs?
A Um, our biggest cost was user acquisition. Um, so we were doing direct sales to office managers. We were trying a monthly parking option for employees in downtown urban areas. And, uh, that was, that was kind of our strategy for getting, uh, past the user acquisition hurdle for kind of your hourly parkers, people coming out at night and such. We were like, okay, let's establish a baseline, get monthly parkers to fill our spaces during the day, reoccurring revenue, count on it. And then we can have a little more relaxation around getting those hourly users. Um, it's just a, it's a tough market. Um, people are used to their options and, um, it was something that investors particularly and why we really pivoted is that, uh, investors are kind of tired of the mobile app, uh, parking solution. A lot of people in the space, some people being successful as anybody that's invested in spot hero and park whiz are the two biggest ones.
