Camas High School seniors Juliyen Davis, Satya Hariharan, Quentin Lebeau and Cameron Vega are developing a mobile application that connects homeowners with driveways, to drivers who need a place to park.
They founded ADJACENT INC., with the help of Immix Law Group, and have started a Kickstarter campaign to help pay for marketing and development costs.
The company has garnered $7,000 in seed money so far, through efforts including working part-time jobs at The Oregon Zoo, Fisher Investments and CID-Bioscience.
Inspiration for the venture came after Davis visited Chicago this summer with his father, and was shocked that it cost upwards of $60 for parking.
“One day I was walking down Northwest 23rd Avenue in Portland, looking at all the drivers trying to find on-street parking, and the light went on in my head,” he said.
