About

Turn every city's hidden parking inventory into a bookable resource.

Caza Tu Plaza started in Valencia and is rolling out across Spain - one operator integration at a time.

Founding story

It began as 30 minutes lost before every class.

Irene Chia moved from Singapore to Valencia for a postgraduate programme and spent her first three months circling the Eixample neighbourhood for half an hour before most class sessions, repeatedly arriving late because the Moovit app could tell her the bus timetable but nothing about parking.

Spain had a fragmented parking supply: municipal garages with public APIs, private operators with closed booking portals and thousands of private spaces never listed anywhere. The data existed; it was just scattered across 40 separate operator systems with no common interface.

The first attempt was a WhatsApp bot for Valencia's five busiest garage operators that let users check availability via text. Within 8 weeks, 600 drivers were using it daily. The friction was clear: users wanted to book and pay in the same flow, not just check availability.

Caza Tu Plaza evolved from the bot into a full booking platform, starting with Valencia, with a roadmap to Madrid and Barcelona in year two. The peer-to-peer listing feature came from a waiting list of 140 private garage owners who found the product organically in Valencia.

Mission

Real availability, transparent prices, no more guesswork.

We aggregate what already exists. Public APIs, private feeds and listed peer spaces all belong on the same map. Drivers should see real availability and real prices before they commit, and operators should fill more hours of the week without rebuilding their booking stack.

Turn every city's hidden parking inventory into a bookable resource drivers can rely on. That is the goal every integration, every operator partnership and every new city rollout is pointed at. The platform succeeds when a driver in Spain opens the app, picks a space and arrives without having circled the block once.

What we stand for

Four principles that shape every product decision.

These are not aspirational statements - they are the constraints we apply when prioritising what to build next.

  • Real availability, not estimates. If we cannot confirm a space is bookable right now, we do not show it. Estimated availability is worse than no data.
  • Price transparency before commitment. The number you see before you tap Book is the number you pay. IVA, entry fees and surcharges are shown in the price card, not added at the payment step.
  • City-first, neighbourhood-aware. Parking is hyper-local. A garage two kilometres away is useless for a meeting in the old town. Walk-time circles, not crow-fly distance, rank results.
  • List once, earn always for private owners. Private garage owners should be able to list once and earn from every unused hour without managing individual bookings. The platform handles the calendar, the payment and the payout.
Stage and focus

Seed stage, regional focus, early revenue.

We are seed-funded with early revenue from Valencia bookings. Our 2026 focus is to deepen Valencia coverage, finish operator API work for Madrid and Barcelona and graduate the peer-to-peer listing feature out of waitlist. We are not chasing every European market; we are getting Spain right first.

The team of four founders combines product management from Southeast Asian super-app infrastructure, backend engineering from a major Spanish ride-hail operator, payments product experience and urban mobility research. That mix of operator-side and research experience is what lets us build a product that works for both drivers and parking operators, not just one side of the marketplace.
