Flash, a leader in end-to-end parking technology, has announced the closure of an $85 million debt financing round for a newly formed special purpose vehicle (SPV), with the potential to increase to $100 million. This investment, led by Vantage Infrastructure, is set to accelerate the adoption of Flash's platform and introduce flexible payment options for clients, catering to a wide range of budgetary and deployment preferences.
Chris Donus, President of Flash, highlighted the significance of this financial achievement, noting its potential to accommodate the diverse needs of asset owners and operators.
