Hi, for the convertible note is there a prospectus? The info seems vague. 1. How many shares would 1000$ get you if the convert was converted. When does the convert expire? Does it pay any interest? Can it be called and if so at what premium and date. Who does the valuation and when? What is it's seniority to other debt?
Hi Rob, thanks for the question. The Form C (tinyurl.com/parknav-wf21-form-c) is considered that "prospectus". You can find it at the bottom of Details tab of this website. Specific info about terms is available in the Form of Note for early investors, which is part of Form C, also here: tinyurl.com/parknav2021-wf-early Your first question, namely the numbers of shares for $1000, depends on many assumptions, but hopefully you could calculate by yourself with the number of shares outstanding stated in Form C under "DESCRIPTION OF ISSUER'S SECURITIES". Let me know if you don't find answers easily there, and I shall help.
Are you able to reflect real time availability or do you predict availability based on historical data? If the data is real-time, how long is the delay between somebody vacating/taking a parking spot and this information being reflected in the app?
Hi Maurice, we determine real-time on-street parking availability. We use artificial intelligence to analyze data generated by cars manufacturers, telecommunication companies, insurance companies, car-sharing companies, mapping companies and many other sources, along with our own proprietary data.
Is your product being developed to comply with the parking industry's emerging APDS data exchange standards?
Hi Kevin, thanks for this question. The APDS standard is developed to serve payment systems. Parknav is focused on information provisions regardless of whether payment is required or parking is completely free. We do work with a number of other standards, and would be very happy to participate in helping shape APDS to also include realtime information for parking whether payment is required or not. I feel that this shall serve drivers more broadly than just focusing on payment alone. Want to continue the conversation? Email us at corporate@parknav.com. Looking forward! --Eyal Amir, Parknav CEO

1.What is your business model? How do you make money? I can not find this info anywhere even in the pitch deck. 2.How big can you become? what is the exit plan? 3.How many clients do you have, B2B Partner or B2C ? Thanks
Thanks for your interest and your questions! (1) our business model is based on charging our customers SaaS for services we provide from our SaaS platform, and our pricing on our website should give you a more information on how we monetize our unique platform with patented AI technology and processed big data. (2) we have projected a growth to $120m annual revenue (as shown in our deck), and expect, though cannot guarantee, that we shall reach so and go beyond. (3) Our clients are large enterprises, with a growing set of smaller B2B. Some of those that we can disclose are listed in the deck here on WeFunder.

Why did revenues decline in 2021 vs 2020? What are you doing in 2022 to right the path and how did Q1 2022 perform? Can you provide more detail of your historical intangible assets investment cash flow?
Hi Nicolas, thank you for a very relevant question. Please allow me to respond to this comprehensively. Covid-19 and related trends continued to put downward pressure on the mobility market in 2021. Enterprise customers have been more resilient than others, but the strong decrease in people mobility worldwide caused them to change investments in the short term. Also, travel restrictions and decreased activity in the mobility market caused deals to slow down. On the positive side, government spending on smart city has increased worldwide, and political changes occurred that are promising to increase spending further on this market, but those took time to trickle down and we start to see their effect in 2022. Also, a new market for IoT and AI has started opening up, with early adopters starting to buy in 2021 but with smaller deal sizes. These market trends coincided with our realization in 2020 that the company can achieve faster and safer growth to a larger market by switching to SaaS (Software as a Service). This was implemented in 2021, moving away from Enterprise focus which requires substantial consulting component to SaaS to SME (Small and Medium Enterprises). This already resulted in growth in the number of customers that we had from 2020 to 2021 by 200%, and we expect, though cannot guarantee, that the same would be in 2022 compared with 2021. Those deals being smaller, though faster to close, are promising for faster and solid growth, but in the near term caused lower revenue in 2021. In conclusion, we expect, though cannot guarantee, that revenues in our updated business model shall increase to $30K/month MRR average revenue in the next 6 months, with further growth at very fast pace soon thereafter. Best, Eyal

How does the effective price/share in this round compare with the April WeFunder raise, which was a convertible note? I see you have $4.65 early bird (and presumably $5.31 after this) compared with $5.02 in startengine.
Hi Iain, many thanks for your question. Indeed the share price in this campaign is higher than that of the previous one at StartEngine. The early-bird price in this campaign offers a discount, and so did the early bird at StartEngine. This opportunity expires when we reach $300K in this round. Regarding the convertible notes from April, depending on surpassing $1MM (* see below) in this round, this note will convert into equity based on the cap of that note (e.g. $50M). Once this round closes (and assuming conversion occurs), then we shall calculate the consequent pricing per share that you receive for your note. Assuming these, holders of that note (eg at valuation $50M cap) would convert at a price per share that is much lower than the price at this round (valuation $80M). Side Note: by helping us spread the word and surpass that $1MM (*) raise in this round, you help make the notes convert. Hope this helps! Best --Eyal, Parknav CEO *(as part of the Qualified Financing mentioned in the Convertible Note of April 2021; the terms on the note prevail in any conflict with my explanation above)

You reasonably mention "We don’t have to just tell you our technology works, because we have the traction to prove it." Please share your traction metrics. You have $50M Series B valuation, so at least Series A key metrics to make an investment decision are essential (ycombinator.com/library/1y-key-metrics): • Total customers • Bookings • Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) • Revenue CMGR • Gross margin • Gross account churn • Net dollar churn • Customer LTV / paid CAC • Quick ratio: a measure of a company’s short term liquidity • Magic number: a measure of sales efficiency that looks at what the output of a year’s worth of revenue growth is per dollar spent on sales and marketing • Burn rate / runway Could you please share them so we could see the trends of your company, the consistency and the past data. If you have inconsistent data (pitfall #2, ycombinator.com/libr…mportance-of-trends) as many startups do, please elaborate on the reasons. Could you please advise how did you come up to $50M valuation cap as well.
Hi Aldert, thanks for your interest. Please see our annual reports and other info on this Wefunder website, specifically the deck under tab "overview" and also our Form C submission under tab "details", to find some of the metrics you are looking for. Some others may not be available for commercial or other reasons. Please also notice that this is a Seed raise rather than Series B.
Hi Aldert, thanks again for your question, here are some metrics that I can share with you publicly (if you are accredited, please email me at corporate@parknav.com): 1. MRR: $13,000 2. Gross margin: COGS are presently only cloud costs, so gross margin is very high. 3. LTV/CAC: our deals are not yet consistent enough to offer an honest measure here. Notice that we are at Seed (not sure why you mention we are Series B). Other measures will be provided when we are at Series A! Best, Eyal
How do I make money by investing in this company?
Hi Susan, thanks for your question! Your investment shall convert into equity (stocks) when the company goes thru a qualifying financing event (see Form C under Details on this page). We plan, though cannot guarantee, that the company shall IPO or get acquired in the future, and that you could sell your shares at profit then.
This tech seems like it will be a game changer for drivers, communities and society at large. Keep up the good work. I would like to know when FY 2020 financials will be released.
Hi Marco, thanks for your question! We provide some 2020 estimates in our Company FAQ and Form C, and plan, though cannot guarantee, to have consolidated and reviewed FY 2020 financials by June or July this year.
So your market strategy is licensing the technology?
Hi Tal, many thanks for your interest. Our marketing strategy is based on powering as many businesses and companies with our SaaS platform. So more than our unique AI technology only, and processing of corresponding big data, we provide them the full service and platform on which they can hook up to.
