Let’s talk about parking. Not the kind where you’re circling for 12 minutes, dodging scooters and existential dread. I mean the trillion-dollar urban mobility mess most cities haven’t solved, and where one startup just punched through the noise. Modii Inc., born in 2015 and recently rebranded from Spot Parking, isn’t just another SaaS player chasing municipal contracts. It’s a Denver-based disruptor engineering the digital spine of future cities. And now, they’ve got fresh fuel: a just-closed seed round led by Australian VC powerhouse Equity Venture Partners (EVP), announced June 9, 2025.

A decade later, that same spark has turned into a nationwide fire, lit across 35 states, 400+ projects deep, and now supercharged with $260 million in fresh institutional fuel. Let’s not just talk about funding, let’s talk about firepower. This isn’t just capital, it’s confidence. Apterra Infrastructure Capital stepped in as the mastermind orchestrator, joined by heavyweights like Investec and ATLAS SP Partners (from the Apollo family). These aren’t casual names. These are precision lenders who don’t gamble on “potential,” they bet on…
