Overview

Streetline provides smart parking technology and analytics to help cities, universities, and private operators manage parking more effectively. Its sensor platform includes sound level and road surface temperature sensing to support smart-city and smart-campus initiatives. The company has deployments in Germany, France, the U.K., and across many U.S. states, including California, New York, Massachusetts, and others. Streetline intends to use the $10M financing to expand product offerings for private parking operators, merchants, and consumers. The company is led by president and CEO Zia Yusuf. The financing round underscores demand for its data-driven parking solutions and supports continued geographic and product expansion. Streetline operates a smart-parking platform that uses sensors installed next to spaces to detect occupancy and delivers real-time data to consumer apps like Parker as well as products for city planners and parking operators. The company has shifted from a sensor-first focus to positioning itself as a data-and-apps company within the Internet of Things trend. Its service is live in 30 cities and universities and has launched internationally with deployments in Braunschweig, Germany and Birmingham, U.K. Streetline partners with larger vendors such as Cisco to deliver its data through municipal Wi-Fi networks. The company says its technology can enable dynamic, demand-based pricing and 'pays for itself' for cash-strapped cities.

Streetline’s core product is a patented smart-parking platform that detects vehicle presence via a network of ultra-low-power wireless sensors and surfaces that data through a cloud platform and the Parker consumer guidance app. The company offers real-time and historical parking analytics to cities and consumers and plans to enable broader adoption by offering its solutions on a pay-as-you-go basis. Streetline is privately held and headquartered in Foster City, Calif., with deployments across multiple U.S. jurisdictions including California, Indianapolis, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C. The Parker app is available on iTunes and Android and is planned for in-car navigation integration.
