What VoicePark does
VoicePark is a San Francisco-based IoT parking platform founded in 2012, operating a dual B2B/B2C model that combines proprietary RFID-equipped vehicle detection sensors with consumer mobile applications (iOS and Android). The infrastructure layer ingests multi-feed data — proprietary sensor signals plus partner-supplied predictive analytics, optical, and infrared feeds — to deliver real-time turn-by-turn guidance to the nearest available on-street or off-street parking spot. The back-end 'VoicePark Analytics' suite provides behavioral analytics and management tools for transportation resource optimization, while 'Smart Permits' enables pre-paid reservations, automated payment, and a claimed 10X lift in enforcement efficiency. A Connected Car API product targets autonomous vehicle fleets to address the 'last block' parking-burden use case.
The company sells into multiple verticals: municipalities (SFMTA pilot; DDOT's ParkDC initiative), airports, universities, and private off-street parking facilities, with consumer mobile apps distributed through the iOS App Store and Google Play. Pricing is quote-based for B2B sensor deployments (described as 'no capital outlay to the partner'), with smart permits transacted on a pay-as-you-go basis. VoicePark is incorporated as VoicePark, LLC in California, lists David LaBua as founder and CEO, and is reported to operate with an 11-50 employee headcount.
VoicePark has built its commercial traction around flagship partnerships — Current (Powered by GE) in intelligent cities, Xerox in transportation/parking management, and a listed Tesla partner relationship — alongside earlier coverage of more than 5 million off-street parking spots across 40 US cities. The only disclosed external funding is a $285,000 round in November 2017; total capital raised is therefore small, and the revenue base is not publicly disclosed despite the multi-vertical footprint.
