ValetAnywhere Inc.

ValetAnywhere Inc. was established in 2014 in New York City by co-founders Robert Kao and Lawrence Lee. The company operates as a mobile-first, on-demand valet service, allowing users to request a valet to pick up, park, and return their car anywhere in the city with a tap of a button on their mobile app.

The service is designed for urban car owners facing parking challenges. Customers use the mobile application to specify their location, and a company valet is dispatched to meet them. The valet then takes the car to a secure parking facility. When the customer needs their car back, they use the app to request its return to a specified location. The business generates revenue through fees for these on-demand valet and parking services. ValetAnywhere also introduced a monthly subscription service, "Valet Anywhere Long Term," which provides car storage in a garage, a set number of drop-offs, and additional perks like car washes and fuel top-ups.

The company successfully raised a total of $1.47 million over five funding rounds. Its initial funding round occurred in January 2014, and the latest was a seed round on April 6, 2016. Key investors include AngelPad, Third Sphere, CyberAgent Capital, and Cambridge Innovations. Notably, the company's website appears to have pivoted from its original valet service focus. It now presents itself as a blog discussing general automotive topics, including car maintenance and vehicle types.
