Our Story

Banana Slugs 🐌Once upon a time in Santa Cruz..
Santa Cruz has always been a central hub for van and RV travelers around the world. Both the co-founders, Giulio and Wyatt, went to college at the University of California, Santa Cruz. During one of the UCSC hackathon, Cruzhacks, they met and decided to develop a solution for the growing parking problem in Santa Cruz. 48 hours and 12 Yerba Mates later, Vroom was born: a platform where students could share their driveway with van and RV travelers around the area.
