Amsterdam-based ParkBee offers a smart platform for stress-free off-street parking, taking cars off the streets, and giving space back to the city.
In most cities, street parking occupies valuable urban space and is often difficult to find.
But there is an easy and underutilized off-street parking alternative around the corner.
The digital car parking platform announced that it has raised €30M in a fresh round of funding from former Booking.com CEO Kees Koolen’s Koolen Industries and a number of other tech entrepreneurs and investors.
Founded in 2013 by Jian Jiang and Tom Buchmann, ParkBee is on a mission to improve the way car parking operates in Europe’s increasingly dense and populated cities.
The company’s app allows drivers to locate and reserve available spaces in off-street car parks and be directed to those spaces through the ParkBee app and affiliates such as Google Maps.
This way, the platform helps cities and property owners to better utilize their urban spaces.
With more than 400 affiliated parking locations in four countries and many collaborations with parking apps and parking providers, ParkBee reaches millions of users and provides them with a parking space.
