● Yedem Internal Wiki

From €500k strategic round
to a $1B exit.

We're building the operating system for building mobility — globally. By 2031 Yedem reaches €100M ARR, and becomes the strategic asset that industrial giants, automotive OEMs, mobility platforms, and private equity actively compete to acquire.

From Czech beachhead to global category leader.

Each leg of the climb is funded by the previous one. The current €500k strategic round (Sales + Product) lands the playbook. By 2027 we're at €1.5M ARR and breakeven. By 2029 we've crossed €18M ARR with European scale. 2031 is the inflection — €100M ARR, global presence, strategic exit window open.

€100M ARR is < 1% of the obtainable market.

Bottom-up: ~350M office & enterprise parking spaces globally, digitizable at €10/month each. Top-down: smart parking software market hits $24B by 2030 (13.6% CAGR), smart building market $307B. Yedem at €100M ARR in 2031 is still a small slice of a rapidly digitizing pie.

Four buyer categories — each with $1B+ deal precedent.

At €100M ARR with 90% gross margin and category-leading position in mobility-for-buildings, Yedem becomes a strategic asset for four buyer types — each with credible recent precedent for $1B+ acquisitions. These four are the primary exit paths.

01
Tier 1 · Strategic

Industrial & Smart Building giants

Building OS plug-in for $300B+ smart building TAM
Deal Range
$1.0–1.5B
Multiple
10–15× ARR
Most credible targets
Schneider Electric · Siemens · Honeywell · Johnson Controls · ABB
Why credible: Schneider's $11B AVEVA acquisition (2023), Siemens' $16B Mentor Graphics, Honeywell's $1.5B Intelligrated — all $1B+ deals already executed in adjacent software. Yedem plugs into EcoStruxure, Building X, Forge as the mobility module.
02
Tier 1 · Strategic

Automotive OEM mobility acquisitions

Connected vehicle ↔ building infrastructure play
Deal Range
$0.8–1.5B
Multiple
8–12× ARR + premium
Most credible targets
Volkswagen Group · Toyota / Woven · Mercedes-Benz Mobility · BMW · Hyundai-Kia
Why credible: Auto OEMs spend €5–15B annually on mobility software M&A. Hyundai bought Boston Dynamics for $1.1B, Toyota Woven Planet operates a $5B M&A fund. Škoda Auto is already a Yedem customer — VW Group strategic relationship is in place.
03
Tier 1 · Strategic

Mobility platforms scaling into B2B

Ride-hailing giants buying their next growth curve
Deal Range
$1.0–1.5B
Multiple
8–12× ARR + premium
Most credible targets
Uber · Bolt · Grab
Why credible: Uber is a serial $1B+ acquirer of new growth curves — Careem $3.1B, Postmates $2.65B, Drizly $1.1B. Its next growth dimension is the enterprise: buildings are demand hubs. Yedem gives Uber the B2B layer for corporate parking, EV charging, and fleet-powered ride-sharing / carpooling — extending Uber for Business from trips into the buildings where those trips start and end.
04
Tier 1 · Financial

Vertical SaaS PE roll-up

Category consolidation platform play
Deal Range
$0.6–1.2B
Multiple
6–10× ARR
Most credible targets
Vista Equity Partners · Thoma Bravo · Silver Lake · KKR · Blackstone Tech
Why credible: Vista Equity manages $96B AUM with vertical SaaS specialization (Apttus, Trintech, Marketo precedents). Two plays: roll-up — Yedem + Wayleadr + Commuty + Izix = $300–500M ARR consolidated platform → public market exit at €3–5B valuation; or portfolio bolt-on — Yedem as the mobility module completing an existing PropTech / workplace portfolio company.

Realistic $300M–$1B range buyers.

Beyond the top three, multiple categories of strategic buyers operate at $300M–$1B deal sizes. These provide credible fallback paths and competitive tension during a sale process.

PropTech consolidators

RE-tech roll-up platforms

JLL Technologies (Building Engines $300M+, Skyline AI) · CBRE ($28B market cap, hunting for Hana replacement) · Yardi Systems ($1B+ revenue, aggressive acquirer) · MRI Software (PE-backed, 30+ acquisitions) · Eptura ($1B+ valuation, workplace consolidator) · AppFolio ($5.5B market cap, public RE SaaS).
JLL is the most active PropTech acquirer globally — exactly Yedem's profile. Stuart's CBRE / C&W network = warm intro path.
Enterprise SaaS giants

Industry Cloud expansion

Salesforce ($260B market cap; Slack $27.7B, Tableau $15.7B, Vlocity $1.3B precedents) · Oracle ($400B market cap; Cerner $28B, NetSuite verticals) · SAP (€240B market cap; Concur acquisition logic) · ServiceNow ($180B market cap, workflow platform) · Workday ($60B market cap, workforce expansion).
Less direct fit, but Salesforce's Vlocity ($1.3B for vertical SaaS) shows appetite for category leaders to power Industry Cloud verticals.
Adjacent SaaS expansion

Hospitality / workspace OS players

Mews (CZ/UK, $185M+ raised — Czech-Czech strategic angle) · Cloudbeds (US/Spain hospitality OS) · SAP Concur (corporate travel + mobility adjacency).
Mews is the most-interesting wildcard — Czech-Czech deal, strong Series D war chest, expanding from hospitality into office mobility.

Smaller strategic buyers · $100M–$300M range.

Sector-specific acquirers with smaller deal sizes but high strategic relevance. These represent fallback paths and create competitive tension.

EV charging giants

SW layer for charging infrastructure

ChargePoint (NYSE, largest EV charging operator) · EVBox (NL, ENGIE-owned) · Allego · Virta · Volta Charging (European EV operators) · Tesla Energy / Supercharger Network (becoming B2B).
Hardware incumbents going software

Parking PMS & gate vendors

Skidata (€200M revenue, Kudelski Group parent) · Designa (TKH Group parent) · Amano McGann (JP parent) · Cale / Flowbird (Vinci-owned, €500M+).
Mobility-as-a-Service

Last mile + transport platforms

Lyft · DoorDash (US platforms) · Sixt · Europcar · Hertz (fleet & rental — Uber and Bolt covered in Tier 1).
Workplace experience platforms

Office + mobility cross-sell

Robin ($200M+ valuation, desk booking — parking is their gap) · Envoy ($1.4B valuation, workplace platform) · Spaceti · Sharry · Spaceflow (current Yedem partners — strategic merger candidates) · Eptura (iOFFICE + SpaceIQ + Condeco merger).
Adjacent SaaS players that need parking module to complete their workplace OS. Several already integration partners — natural acquisition pathway.
RE asset owners vertically integrating

Portfolio-wide deployments at scale

Blackstone Real Estate ($300B+ AUM, largest RE owner globally) · Brookfield Properties · Hines · Prologis · GIC · PIF · Mubadala.

$1B+ deals in adjacent categories — already happened.

$1B exits in mobility, workplace, building, and vertical SaaS are not theoretical — they're frequent. The table below shows recent precedent deals that establish the multiple range and strategic logic for a Yedem exit.

Acquirer Target Category Year Deal Size
Schneider Electric AVEVA Industrial SW 2023 $11.0B
Cisco Splunk Vertical SaaS 2024 $28.0B
Salesforce Slack Workplace SaaS 2021 $27.7B
Siemens Mentor Graphics Industrial SW 2017 $4.5B
IBM HashiCorp Infra SaaS 2024 $6.4B
Salesforce Vlocity Vertical Industry Cloud 2020 $1.3B
Hyundai Boston Dynamics Mobility / Robotics 2020 $1.1B
Uber Careem Mobility Platform 2019 $3.1B
Honeywell Intelligrated Industrial SW 2016 $1.5B
JLL Building Engines PropTech 2021 $300M+
DoorDash Wolt Mobility / Logistics 2022 $8.1B
Iconix (Eptura merger) iOFFICE + SpaceIQ + Condeco Workplace SaaS 2022 $1.0B+
VTS (last private round) PropTech SaaS 2022 $1.7B val
ServiceTitan (IPO) Vertical SaaS IPO 2024 $9.0B / $700M ARR
Procore (IPO) Construction SaaS IPO 2021 $9.0B+
Reference comp for Yedem: ServiceTitan IPO'd at 13× ARR ($9B at $700M ARR). Yedem at €100M ARR × 10× = $1B exit is the conservative base case. Premium strategic acquisitions in the industrial / mobility space frequently exceed this multiple.

If we choose to stay independent.

Strategic acquisition is the base case — but if 2031 market conditions favor independence, Yedem at €100M ARR with category leadership is a credible public-market candidate.

IPO scenario — secondary path

The vertical SaaS IPO benchmark

ServiceTitan IPO'd at $9B with $700M ARR (12.8× revenue multiple). Procore IPO'd at $9B+, Toast at $20B, Confluent at $9.1B — all vertical SaaS comparables for category leaders in growth phase.

At €100M ARR growing 50%+ with 90% gross margin, Yedem fits the public market profile. IPO valuation range: $1.5–3B+ depending on growth rate and market conditions — providing optionality if private-market strategic offers come in below ambition.

Bottom line: IPO is the alternative, not the plan. Strategic acquisition by industrial / OEM / PE is the most-likely exit. But the public-market option creates competitive tension and a credible BATNA for negotiation.

Four paths. One outcome.
