“We are honored to welcome such experienced investors on board. With this fundraising, we can bring our all-inclusive car subscriptions to the mass-market,” said Max-Josef Meier, CEO and co-founder of FINN, in the press release. “What motivates us further, is that our flexible and easy to book car subscriptions serve as a catalyst for electric vehicles.

“One-third of our fleet is already fully electric, and the share is quickly growing. With the new investment, we bring not only car subscriptions, but also electric vehicles to a large audience,” he said.

Former French Minister of Digital Economy and Culture Fleur Pellerin, now the CEO Korelya Capital, has joined the FINN Board of Directors.
