ParkMundo Secures €2.3M Round After a Decade of Bootstrapped Growth to Reshape Airport Parking Industry

ParkMundo, a travel technology platform building the global infrastructure for airport parking distribution, announced today €2.3M in Seed funding, marking the company’s first external capital after over a decade of bootstrapped growth. The investment positions ParkMundo to scale both its consumer marketplace and partner ecosystem while accelerating international growth.

The secured capital comes from a group of experienced technology and travel-sector angel investors, alongside additional financing through Rabobank. The funding follows a rebuild of the company’s technology infrastructure, a rebrand and the development of a B2B distribution capability that enables airport parking to be embedded as a travel ancillary through partners such as online travel agencies and airlines. This round of investment will be used to scale the company and further innovate ParkMundo’s tech stack.

ParkMundo was founded in 2013 by Jeroen van den Eerenbeemt under the original name Vliegen en Parkeren. Shortly afterwards, his childhood friend Martijn Meeuws joined him, and together they began building the business from a garage in a small village near Eindhoven. Over the following decade, the company expanded internationally while remaining self-funded and profitable, growing from a single comparison website into a multi-market technology platform with one of the largest airport parking supply networks through Europe and consistently growing its presence globally. Today, ParkMundo is the only platform operating across four continents, having facilitated millions of bookings through a network of more than 850 partners in 15 countries.

“The evolution from Vliegen en Parkeren to ParkMundo reflects exactly where we stand today. We have transformed from a local player into a truly global platform, handling airport parking bookings worldwide while seamlessly serving both individual B2C travellers and enterprise B2B partners,” said Martijn Meeuws, co-founder and CEO of ParkMundo. “For years, airport parking has been one of the last major travel products operating through fragmented local systems. We believe travellers deserve the same seamless experience they expect when booking flights or hotels. Our ambition is to become the global infrastructure connecting parking operators with travellers wherever they book their trip.”

Alongside the funding, ParkMundo has strengthened its governance and strategic capabilities with the appointment of experienced technology and travel-industry leaders to its board. The board includes Jan-Willem van Boeckel, technology entrepreneur and founder of Treatwell, one of Europe’s leading online beauty booking platforms, and Mattijs ten Brink, former CEO of Transavia and Sunweb Group. Their appointments bring additional expertise in marketplace scaling, travel and international growth as ParkMundo expands its consumer and partner distribution businesses.

“Over the past decade, ParkMundo has built an international business through disciplined, self-funded growth across multiple markets, with a strong focus on execution. That level of discipline is increasingly rare. The company is building on this foundation with capital, one global brand and proprietary, future-ready technology to accelerate growth and unlock new B2B distribution channels. This creates a powerful platform for long-term category leadership,” said board member Jan-Willem van Boeckel.

ParkMundo believes the airport parking sector remains highly fragmented despite its scale, creating opportunities for consolidation as technology, consumer expectations and distribution models continue to evolve. The company sees an opportunity to expand its position both through direct consumer demand and through strategic distribution partnerships.

Building on its strong cross global consumer platform, ParkMundo is scaling embedded distribution as a powerful second growth engine. Through seamless APIs and partner integrations, airlines, online travel agencies and other travel brands can offer airport parking directly within their booking journeys.

ParkMundo applies more than a decade of B2C experience and conversion insights to help partners increase parking attach rates. Its technology uses AI to optimize airport parking pricing within the ancillary journey, balancing customer value with the optimal contribution margin for travel brands. This creates a more complete traveller experience, opens a high-potential distribution channel and generates incremental demand for all parties in the chain at scale, while unlocking extra ancillary income.

“Airport parking is often overlooked within the wider travel ecosystem, but it is a significant part of the traveller journey and a category with considerable room for innovation. Having spent much of my career in aviation and travel, I see strong potential in the way ParkMundo is approaching the market. The company has already built a substantial supply network and consumer business, and the move towards embedded distribution through travel partners is a logical next step. ParkMundo’s plug-and-play API enables travel brands to integrate airport parking into their booking journey quickly and seamlessly, instantly accessing a global parking inventory. It creates value for travellers while opening attractive opportunities for growth,” said board member Mattijs ten Brink.

Over the coming years, ParkMundo plans to expand both its consumer marketplace and embedded distribution platform. The company believes airport parking is only beginning its transition towards connected, technology-driven distribution.
