HonkMobile Raises $3 Million in Seed Funding Led by Impression Ventures

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - October 02, 2015) - HonkMobile, North America's fastest and most convenient way to find and pay for parking, announced today that it has raised $3 million in a seed round of funding that was led by Impression Ventures along with other angel investors.

HonkMobile's cloud-based technology streamlines parking by allowing users to search, pay for, and top up parking from their mobile phone, tablet or any Internet connected device. The app also allows users to store and manage receipts. Using a single account, motorists can pay for parking anywhere HonkMobile is accepted across North America.

"We are changing the business of parking. Not only do we increase profitability for traditional parking operators, but we're using our proprietary technology to bring additional parking spots into the market and monetize real estate that traditional parking technologies can't enable," says HonkMobile founder & CEO Michael Back. "Impression Ventures shares our vision and, with its resources and assistance, will significantly accelerate our growth plan."

HonkMobile will use the proceeds to scale its sales, marketing and technology infrastructure to support its rapid growth across North America. The company views parking as more than just storing vehicles. With the help of this growth capital, the company will employ its pioneering technology to shift the parking industry forward, connecting more people, more efficiently, to the places they want to be. This will result in stimulated growth for parking operators and increased economic development in North American cities.

"Parking technology hasn't changed much over the years," says Impression Ventures Managing Partner Bryan Kerdman. "HonkMobile is improving the parking experience for drivers while significantly increasing efficiency and profitability for parking operators. That, combined with a management team with a proven track record of success, is exactly what we look for when making early stage investments." Bryan will be joining the HonkMobile Board.
