airports for travelers. FlightCar's service helps people rent their car to other travelers and make extra cash instead of leaving their car unused at the airport. Backed by influential investors such as Ashton Kutcher, Alexis Ohanian, and Ryan Seacrest, the company is headstrong on pioneering the sharing economy. So far FlightCar has expanded to SFO, BOS, and LAX, with plenty of other airports in its sights. FlightCar's founders are recent Harvard and Princeton dropouts, and the company has graduated from two accelerators: Y Combinator and The Brandery. Vine Street Ventures and Great Oaks Venture Capital are also investors in the company.
