Brown and White Ventures has invested in Stak Mobility, a startup aiming to modernize urban infrastructure by converting traditional parking into high-density, software-enabled assets. The deal comes amid growing investor focus on companies operating at the intersection of real estate, electrification, and mobility—sectors facing mounting pressure from urban density, housing shortages, and rising energy demand. Stak Mobility’s core product is a modular, vertically integrated parking system—referred to as an EV carousel—that automates vehicle storage while reducing the physical footprint of parking by as much as 85%. The system is paired with a software platform and energy management layer designed to support EV charging and, eventually, distributed grid services. The company is positioning itself not simply as a parking solution, but as a broader infrastructure platform. Its model blends elements of proptech, mobility, and energy, with revenue streams spanning hardware deployment, recurring software fees, and energy-related services. “Urban infrastructure is undergoing a structural shift,” Brown and White Ventures General Partner Jim Aroune said in a statement. “We’re seeing the convergence of land constraints, electrification, and digitization. Stak Mobility is building at that intersection.” “We are grateful for Brown and White Ventures’ belief in our team and our vision,” Stak Mobility Founder and CEO Diallo Powell said. “It's great to have this fund on board.” The company has secured early deployments across multiple U.S. cities, working with developers and property owners in multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use projects. Its pipeline includes projects across major metropolitan areas, supported by partnerships with real estate operators, utilities, and mobility platforms. Like many infrastructure startups, Stak faces execution challenges, including long sales cycles tied to development timelines, permitting requirements, and capital coordination. However, its approach—embedding systems within new and existing developments and leveraging project-level financing—aims to reduce upfront capital intensity. The investment reflects a broader trend toward “infrastructure-as-a-platform” models, where physical assets are paired with recurring software and service layers. Comparable companies in adjacent markets, such as parking automation firms and EV charging networks, have attracted significant capital in recent years. Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed. Stak Mobility plans to use the capital to expand into additional metro markets, scale its software and energy capabilities, and deepen partnerships across the urban infrastructure ecosystem.
