HYPE
Sam Perkins ’18
Hype is a mobile app attempting to disrupt the restaurant review industry by getting rid of the need for traditional reviews altogether. People have a hard time trusting reviews of dining locations based on the tastes and background of total strangers. By accessing the location of our users and populating dining locations off of a preference-based Netflix style algorithm, we will provide our users with real time insight into which dining locations those most similar to them are attending. In doing so we are taking subjective opinion data and producing objective results.

FANPARK
Logan Harvey ‘19
FanPark is a mobile app that provides a marketplace for vendors, business owners, homeowners, or anyone with area for parking to put spots up for rent while allowing customers to reserve a parking spot before arrival at a location rather than hunting for a spot that may or may not exist. It lets drivers cut down on time spent driving around looking for parking while also minimizing traffic and maximizing revenue for vendors who may not have the ability to publicize parking availability normally.
