Vivek Kumar, President: With over a decade of experience in biopharmaceuticals, biomaterials, drug discovery and delivery - it only makes sense that Vivek is President of pullup. Why… Vivek sees a problem, and figures out a way to solve it. With over 6 patents and 30 publications, Vivek is no stranger to academic science and innovation. Where Vivek stands out is in his ability to bring together teams that can make change. Teams that can innovate. Teams that can recognize a problem - and MAKE a solution. Pullup is Vivek’s second start-up after successfully licensing his first startup (NangioTx.com) and raising funds for his third startup (SAPHTx.com) in the Biopharmaceutical space. Additionally, Vivek is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and an Asst Prof of Restorative Dentistry in at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine.

About pullup Technologies

Parking is a nightmare in crowded cities. pullup has designed a versatile P2P iOS & Android app that allows users to find and monetize parking spots. The departing user posts a spot for a certain amount of time and price; the arriving user picks and navigates to it - pulls up, and.. done!

pullup is designed by a team of engineers who drive..  who suffer from the lack of parking…  who made a simple app, with a simple goal - democratization of parking/parking-sharing.

While pullup takes (~20%) of every transaction, we undercut the competition (decks at $40-75/night) by allowing users to choose a competitive price for their spot, based on other spots available in the area.

We're looking for seed funding ranging from $2 million for getting pullup to 100-1000 daily users. Primarily we would like to develop a marketing campaign to target a focussed area in Manhattan (then Nationally). pullup has a strong IP position bolstered by an in-depth freedom to operate opinion (provisional filed 2015, non-provisional filed 2016, trademarks for design and logo).

pullup is a disruptive technology changing the way we park. Assuming 1% market capture (2 million cars that enter Manhattan daily) we estimate $20,000/day with a minimal posting price of $1 (a steal in any downtown!).
