Parkto

Parkto is a French PropTech startup founded in 2024 that operates a peer-to-peer marketplace designed to optimize urban parking. By connecting owners of private parking spaces—such as garages and boxes—with drivers in need of reliable parking, the company provides a solution to the chronic parking shortages found in major metropolitan areas. The platform functions as a technical intermediary, facilitating secure transactions and automated contract management to ensure a seamless experience for both parties.

Parkto’s mission is to simplify urban parking, reduce search time for drivers, and minimize fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by transforming unused private spaces into accessible, sustainable urban mobility solutions.
