Mr Landl went door-to-door in Ponsonby in an attempt to gauge enthusiasm levels in the area.
"It has been so funny. You knock on a door and most people think you are trying to sell them a bible or some insurance. But, once you introduce yourself and say 'can you help me', most people have been bloody good.
"They invite you in for a cup of tea and tell you things about the street you'd never know otherwise. The information that I've gathered around different streets and what goes on is invaluable. I've loved it."
Parkbubble's research found around 80 per cent of people loved the concept and indicated they'd be keen to participate.
The concept is part of a global rend towards people extracting income from their personal assets.
"Asset sharing is valued at $15 billion today and it is projected to go to $335 billion in this next ten years," Mr Landl said.
Around $10 billion to $11 billion of that market is Bed + Breakfasts, however the likes of do-it-yourself taxi service Uber is driving a huge expansion in the market.
"People have got assets sitting around they might as well make some money out of," Mr Landl said.
Take Saturday's rugby test at Eden Park. A gold mine might be overstating it, but local residents are certainly sitting on an easy buck or two.
"It's a perfect opportunity for someone to make a little bit of money and make it less of an issue to drive from out of Auckland and find a place to park if you have got a van with a bunch of guys."
An entrepreneur who is always juggling a few balls, Mr Landl said the idea came after he'd been away in Gisborne working for the Rhythm and Vines festival.
"I came back and a wanted to get park by Jafa [café in Grey Lynn]. Obviously my patience was a bit lower because I'd been out of Auckland for a few months. I thought 'this is ridiculous'. There were hundreds of driveways or parking opportunities. That's how it started."
The business model works successfully in the United Kingdom and Mr Landl is confident it can adapted to New Zealand. Parkbubble's app is about three-and-a-half weeks away from launch and will cover Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and parts of Tauranga.
The idea is that people with available parking spots will make then available at rates that undercut major players such as Tournament and Wilson. Parkbubble will receive commission on each transaction.
"It's exciting times," Mr Landl said. "The most rewarding thing is how positive people have been about it - 80 per cent of people have thought 'wow this is a really great idea that is going to solve a problem'."

Reimers Avenue resident Jason Fowell says he would definitely consider listing the three parking spaces on his driveway for rent during match days at Eden Park.
His property is located directly across the road from Eden Park's South Stand. Roughly a 30 second walk to the nearest stadium gate, it is a prime location for match day parking that is often used by friends and family but also often vacant.
"It sounds really interesting," Mr Fowell said.
"We'd certainly consider it, sure. We've got room for three cars on our driveway, although it would be a bit of a tight squeeze."
He was not sure what the market value of his carparks would be but said it did seem like a chance to earn some easy money.
"There's some guys down the road with a big back yard who put a sign out on match days. They charge $20. I think they do pretty well out of it."
Mr Fowell said he would also consider using the service when he needed a carpark.
"Certainly in the city it sounds like a really good idea. If you go out for dinner or a show or something quite often there's no parks and it's really frustrating. So it you could pre-book something that would be really good.
"We use Uber a fair bit and that works well."
