California based cardless payments platform Piston, which connects commercial fleets with gas stations, raised $6.1 million in seed funding led by Spark Capital.
"Fuel was our second-largest expense after payroll, and the most chaotic to manage," said Vikram Sekhon, co-founder and CEO. "We tried every solution on the market when we ran our own fleets, and none of them worked. So we decided to build one ourselves from scratch without the baggage of legacy card networks."
