Jonathon Barkl: Building AirGarage from 'Airbnb for Driveways' to Parking Powerhouse


Listen Later

Season 1, Episode 10: On this episode of No Cap by CRE Daily, we sit down with Jonathon Barkl, CEO and co-founder of AirGarage, to dive deep into his journey from college student to revolutionizing the parking industry. Jonathon shares the origin story of AirGarage, starting as an "Airbnb for driveways" and evolving through a series of pivots into a full-stack, tech-first parking operator.

 

 

We explore AirGarage's progression from working with a local church parking lot in 2018 to partnering with real estate owners across urban areas, unlocking underutilized real estate in churches, hotels, and businesses. Jonathon explains how AirGarage is rethinking the parking experience from the ground up, challenging the status quo of a fragmented industry plagued by misaligned incentives and outdated technology.
