iPhone app to fight your parking tickets

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an iPhone app that helps users fight parking tickets by uploading a photo of their ticket. Our team of parking experts reviews it, handles the challenge process, and charges only if the ticket is dismissed.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in San Francisco because it's where we live and where most of our early users are. Being local helps us understand parking laws and enforcement nuances better.
