We're slaves to our cars, so why not make the experience of finding parking much better? CurbStand allows users to geo-locate a participating valet stand to find parking, then request their car, pay, and tip a valet electronically. They recently acquired Curby, a service for drivers and valet companies, so expect more improvements in the coming months.

Furry friends are great, but sometimes we need a little help taking care of them. DogVacay allows you to book care for your pet easily online or on your mobile device.

What's more relaxing than having a massage? Having it right in the comfort of your own home.

Finding a moving company is never easy, nor is it convenient if you need one on short-notice. The Buddytruk app allows any user with a moving or hauling need to connect with a local person and their truck. They're getting rid of the overpricing and inefficiency that comes with traditional movers and making it personal, on-demand, and affordable. The mobile application allows a user to connect and receive help from another person on-demand, and saves the user money by paying a person, not a company.
