  Led · Series A · May 2015

  Campanda is a Berlin-based platform that lets users rent motorhomes, campervans and caravans before or during their vacation. The company was founded in 2013 by CEO Chris Möller and operates in 44 countries in six languages. The platform connects travelers with available vehicles and supports bookings across multiple markets. Campanda employs 45 people. It recently completed a €10 million Series B round led by Michelin Travel Partner with participation from existing backers. With the funding the company plans to grow its team, enter new markets and upgrade its fleet of vehicles. Campanda operates an online booking marketplace for RVs, allowing users to compare prices, locations and vehicle amenities and to book motorhomes and trailers. The platform lists 21,000 vehicles across 32 countries and maintains localized sites for Germany, the U.S., the U.K., Austria, Switzerland and France. Features include price comparison, amenity filters and a stated price guarantee. Launched in 2013, the company combines commercial suppliers and private RV owners, giving it a partial sharing-economy model. Campanda plans to use new capital for expansion in existing markets—notably marketing—and to drive internationalisation into new markets (not yet specified). The company previously raised €2.2 million in earlier funding.

• QuickPay

  Participated · Equity · Dec 2013

  QuickPay is a San Francisco-based provider of mobile parking payment solutions offering the QP QuickPay mobile parking platform. The platform gives users one mobile parking application that works across all parking environments and provides parking owners and operators a suite to enable mobile parking. It is available at hundreds of locations across the U.S., with new locations being added continually. The company recently partnered with ABM Parking Services, which operates over 2,000 parking locations, and with Canadian operator Impark. QuickPay completed $5.5M in additional funding and intends to use the proceeds for product development, account management, and operations to scale its services across North America. Founded in 2010 and led by Chairman and CEO Barney Pell, the company is focused on expanding partner integrations and geographic reach. QuickPay offers a mobile app that shows parking lots accepting QuickPay payments, lets drivers view rates, reserve spaces for set periods, and pay within the app; non-smartphone users can pay via text or voice and present a confirmation code on arrival. The company focuses on off-street parking lots and works directly with lot owners, enabling them to change rates, offer exclusive spaces to QuickPay users, and run promotions such as coupons. QuickPay added support for gated parking facilities through a GateKit device, which the company says covers roughly half of all parking spaces. The service is live in more than 100 locations across 12 cities in California, Colorado, and Nevada, covering about 12,500 parking spaces. Barney Pell, founder of Powerset, has moved from executive chairman to CEO, while founder Carl Muirbook remains president. The company announced $3.5M in seed funding as it expands product features and geographic coverage.
