We’re excited to share that @airgarageinc raised a $23M Series B led by @HeadlineVC with participation from our existing investors and customers. AirGarage is the operating system for parking real estate. We replace broken parking machines, fragmented software, and manual, labor-intensive operations with a unified, data-rich platform that powers everything it takes to optimize a parking asset from payments to dynamic pricing, enforcement, license plate recognition, analytics, and more. Since our Series A, we have: - Grown the business over 10x to 300+ parking facilities in 38 US states - Achieved cash-flow positivity and built a business that is generating more annualized revenue today than the total capital burned in its lifetime while having strong fundamentals (234% NRR at 24 months) - Delivered 20-50% or more revenue increases for real estate owners across the country by replacing broken old parking machines and manual processes with our vertically integrated operating system - Earned the trust of national real-estate leaders like Hines and Greystar as well as technology companies like Meta who have all partnered with AirGarage to optimize their real estate We’re taking the physical world and making it legible to a digital system for the first time through hardware and software, which unlocks dynamic pricing, real-time analytics, and an owner-aligned business model that the industry has never seen before. We are on a mission to bring real estate online, starting with parking. We have always been fortunate to have great investors on our team as we continue on this journey. That is why we’re excited to have Trevor Neff and Jake Horwitz joining our team from Headline. In addition to Trevor & Jake and alongside the Series B, Andy McCall from @a16z and @delk have joined @m2jr of @floodgatefund on our Board of Directors.

agree with this thesis - collapsing stack (of talent, process, and economics) in almost absurd ways in a specific vertical will birth the next generation leaders in services. these traditionally people-intensive, slow, low margin businesses will look entirely different

while they require more capital fully verticalized startups like this are super fascinating to me cuz in the ai era the two things that matter are owning the underlying context & deploying intelligence on top of it. most ai startups do the latter on someone else's platform because it's easier to sell, i.e. you don't have to ask customers to rip out the whole god damn stack. but if someone else is always upstream, you can't really redesign workflows or build anything that defensible. in specific verticals where incumbent software is fragmented enough to allow rip & replace, you'll likely see more companies running the toast playbook which is to own the system of record then make every ai feature a retention mechanism rather than a standalone product.

I’m excited to share that Ease Health is coming out of stealth with a $41M Series A led by @a16z, alongside @AbstractVC, Sunflower, F3, and @BoxGroup, to build the AI-native operating system for behavioral health. Behavioral health runs on some of the most fragmented infrastructure in healthcare. Providers are forced to stitch together EHRs, billing systems, CRMs, schedulers, documentation tools, and compliance workflows just to operate. We started Ease because this is not a tooling problem. It is an architecture problem. So we rebuilt the system from the ground up. Ease is a single platform where AI is not a bolt-on. It is foundational. -Documentation is handled by an ambient AI scribe. -An AI voice agent can manage intake and scheduling. -Our CRM auto-enriches leads and logs activity automatically. -Front desks can instantly match patients to the right provider. -Charts are audited continuously. -Utilization review and prior authorizations can run autonomously. When data is entered once, it flows everywhere it needs to go across clinical records, billing workflows, and reporting. One through-line of truth across the entire organization. Since launching, we have grown quickly and now support hundreds of behavioral health providers across inpatient, outpatient (IOP, PHP, MAT), and residential. The behavioral health crisis is not a demand problem. Providers are buried in manual documentation, claim denials, compliance friction, and disconnected systems. We are building the system designed to remove that burden. We are grateful to Andreessen Horowitz for leading this round, and thankful for the support of all of our investors and partners who believe in rebuilding healthcare infrastructure the right way. Your conviction and partnership mean a great deal to our team.

Babe wake up - new Thoma Bravo thesis just dropped. TL;DR: Most AI startups are thin wrappers on rented models with brutal compute costs and weak moats. The winners will be integrated software platforms that embed AI into the system of record.

IN NEWS: @airgarageinc raises a $23M Series B led by @HeadlineVC. "26% of urban core land is dedicated to parking." - @jonathonbarkl (Co-founder & CEO) "There are 8-11 parking spaces for every car in the US." "There's enough parking space in the U.S. to cover the entire state of West Virginia with asphalt." "There is going to be some repurposing that needs to happen." "The parking industry is so old school, tracking on paper spreadsheets. They don't have access to basic insights." "Parking supply being constrained is actually great for our business because that is the time where you can actually charge for parking."

I agree the system shouldn’t have allowed you to triple tap the button and be triple charged after the first charge was declined. Poor experience and I thought we had safeguards in place to prevent that so I’ll be looking into that with our engineering team. I am glad the support team was able to resolve this for you already this morning and I appreciate the feedback!

Introducing Weekend Fund’s new GP: @vedikaja_in Nearly 6 years ago, I sent this email inviting her to join me “nights and weekends”. Her impact was pronounced and her part-time role quickly shifted to full-time. Since then, we’ve invested $37M into 103 startups, returned our first fund, and raised capital from 400+ LPs.

@credealjunkie Definitely a unique deal, I wish they more clear in the OM if the spaces are contiguous and if those 87 spots are the entire garage or only a subportion. Will have to ask!

87 parking spots and a condo for $3,600,000 in SOMA. Back out the condo and that’s around $35,000 per parking spot, or a ~7.0% cap at $300/mo. Which honestly doesn’t seem too bad but then you own … 87 parking sports in downtown San Francisco.
