“Kayne Partners has a strong track record of partnering with leading, high growth companies, and we are excited about our partnership with Aparc and the Aparc management team. We have followed the parking and traffic solutions sector and believe that the inefficiencies in this world will lead to significant adoption and continued purchasing of parking technologies,” said Nishita Pawar, Vice President, Kayne Partners. “Aparc is solving a revenue generation pain-point in the lives of municipal and commercial clients as well as improving the user experience for the end consumers that interact with the legacy systems.
