PARC Raises Strategic Investment to Power Manchester Roll-Out

PARC Hits 1,000 Active Users in Week One

We're thrilled to share that PARC has crossed a major milestone: over 1,000 active users in our first week of soft launch, with 1,500+ downloads already recorded.

This is just the beginning.

What's Next

Our Manchester roll-out is underway, and we're building toward 35,000–46,000 activated users and £1M–£1.5M ARR as our next milestone. That represents less than 0.002% of the driver market — the opportunity ahead is enormous.

The Team Behind PARC

PARC is led by Erin Short, a 2x exited founder (£35m), Microsoft-featured CPO, and Apple public speaker with 8+ years in tech. Alongside Erin, our team includes:

Rory Sutherland (Adviser — Marketing), world-renowned marketing mind and Ogilvy Vice Chairman, guiding our blitz-scaling strategy.

Caroline Shepard O.B.E. (Non-Exec Director — Compliance), former Chief Adjudicator of the Traffic Penalty Tribunal from 1999 to 2022, ensuring PARC operates with the highest standards of compliance.

Matthew Milnes (Non-Exec COO), formerly of YourParkingSpace.com (£120m), bringing deep insider knowledge of the parking industry.

Invest in PARC

We're raising £1.5M to create and lead a new category in AI parking management. If you'd like to be part of the journey, view our Crowdcube campaign.
