According to Crunchbase, "Building on his experience, challenges (operationally & from the customer side), and insight in the industry, [founder George Baker] left his family business and founded ParkHub.com in 2010, offering consumers an easy way to locate, reserve, and pay for event parking online. As that business grew, George recognized a need for an on-site validation and mobile point of sale solution for parking operators, as well as an opportunity to provide operators with a robust, cloud-based management system."
