+ In one sentence, tell us about your idea.

I need a developer who can build an OpenTable-style app to allow hikers to make reservations at my national park.

In search of an app developer who has done this already with other parks and rec centers.

+ What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?

I hate to see my park crowded, it ruins the experience for everyone including the wildlife. To manage crowds would make me so happy.

+ Who will benefit the most from your idea?

Park goers, our staff, the wildlife and our natural environment.

+ Ideally, when would you launch this idea?

In a few weeks

+ At Sigmund, we are interested in ideas at the intersection of People, Planet, and Profit. How does your idea relate to these three categories?

This would definitely improve life for the planet by managing crowds, it would be a better visitor experience for the people, and it could bring in more revenue/profit since it would streamline what is now a chaotic situation.
