Overview
L Catterton — one of the world's largest consumer investment funds — has invested $60 million in FlashParking, an Austin-based developer of parking management software and services. Launched in 2011 as the industry's first cloud-based parking technology, FlashParking's industry-leading software provides parking solutions through visibility and real-time data.
