Overview
Overview
This startup project emerged from a hackathon to increase accessibility through micro-mobility parklets. Amid COVID -19 and the close of indoor business, we see parking spaces as opportunities to be transformed into outdoor meeting, dining, and retail spaces.
The parket outside of the Momo Ramen reflected our core mission: connect local communities with flexible spaces. Nimble Spaces was accepted into UC Berkeley’s fall 2020 SkyDeck accelerator program.
