Rec, a new startup aiming to improve the local recreation experience, launched out of stealth today.
The platform’s offerings cater to four groups: residents, community organizers, coaches, and city staff.
Meanwhile, Parks and Rec departments gain access to booking, workforce management, and marketing tools.
In almost every partnership, launching Rec has resulted in both incremental participation from residents and incremental revenue for the Parks Department,” Rec explains.
“Our current focus is to build Rec hand in hand with Parks & Rec departments to give them the tools needed to give residents a reimagined recreation experience.
“The largest portion of anyone’s income almost always goes toward housing costs,” founder and CEO Atticus LeBlanc told TechCrunch.
“And if you look around, you know that housing costs are skyrocketing, as much as 40% in some markets.
Most notably, active members have saved $2.6 million monthly and around $47.4 million in total savings generated.
“The life-changing results speak for themselves… These incredible results have led PadSplit residents to purchase their own vehicles, traditional apartments, launch their own companies and buy their own homes,” added LeBlanc.
PadSplit, meanwhile, reports that the average monthly cost to live in one of its units is $729.
An Indian state government has fixed security issues impacting its website that exposed the sensitive documents and personal information of millions of residents.
The bugs existed on the Rajasthan government website related to Jan Aadhaar, a state program to provide a single identifier to families and individuals in the state to access welfare schemes.
One of the bugs allowed anyone to access personal documents and information with knowledge of a registrant’s phone number.
The state’s Jan Aadhaar portal, which launched in 2019, says it has more than 78 million individual registrants and 20 million families.
The portal aims to offer “One Number, One Card, One Identity” to residents in the northern state of Rajasthan for accessing state government welfare schemes.
