Uber Considers Acquiring Parking App SpotHero

• Uber is exploring the acquisition of SpotHero, a parking app that allows users to find and book parking spots in advance.
• The acquisition would enhance Uber’s services by integrating parking solutions with its existing ride-hailing operations.
• SpotHero, based in Chicago, has raised approximately $118 million through various venture funding rounds.
• The most recent funding was a $50 million Series D round led by Macquarie Capital in 2019.
• In November 2023, SpotHero partnered with Uber to support the launch of Uber Carshare in North America, which ceased operations in September 2024.
