Team Spot Exchange (https://thespot.exchange)
A portfolio company of EthVentures LLC, is a smart, decentralized, blockchain-based marketplace on Hyperledger Fabric hosted on the IBM Z platform. The Spot Exchange enables people to rent physical locations designated for parking traditional and autonomous vehicles. As a decentralized marketplace, we do not own physical parking spaces, establish asset prices, or set policy. Instead, we serve as the mechanism in which owners of physical spaces connect with short-term or long-term renters, and provide an automated service for executing and enforcing contracts. As a smart marketplace, we leverage IBM?s Machine Learning APIs, in conjunction with our unique and comprehensive marketplace data, to build a self-learning ecosystem that automates key components of the parking transaction, more efficiently connects owners and renters, and provides dynamic, real-time price recommendations or Spotstimates.
