Marks the VC’s Third Fund to Support Leading Ground Transportation Startups 

MENLO PARK, Calif., April 20, 2023 — Autotech Ventures (Autotech), an early-stage venture capital firm with a mission to solve the world’s ground transportation challenges with technology, announced the closing of its third fund. The $230 million fund will be used to invest in Seed through Series C mobility-related startups.

Autotech has over $500M under management and has invested in more than 40 companies. Of its portfolio companies, five have gone public (including indie Semiconductor, Volta Charging, LYFT), four have reached $1B valuations (Outdoorsy, Volta Charging, indie Semiconductor, SWVL) and five have been acquired (DeepScale, XNOR.AI, Digital Motors, Drover, Frontier Car Group).

“Autotech Ventures’ third fund is among the world’s largest mobility-focused funds raised to date and further validates the investment thesis we pursued across our first two funds,” said Quin Garcia, Autotech Ventures managing director. “Since inception, we have recognized the macro-trends of connectivity, autonomy, shared use, electrification, and digitization of enterprise as tidal waves that are fundamentally transforming our industry. We continue to gravitate toward software, services, and capital-light hardware startups that will significantly impact the larger mobility industry.”

In an environment where VC funding is softening, having fresh capital available to invest in the best startups at lower valuations provides additional opportunity for outsized returns.

“This is our largest fund and will allow us to hunt for unique ideas and continue to lead early stage rounds in companies with strong teams and reinvest in follow-on rounds of the teams that are winning,” said Alexei Andreev, Autotech Ventures managing director. “Like the fantastic wines of Napa Valley, venture capital has vintages, and the best vintages often come from a time of down or less than favorable markets.”

As Autotech Ventures expands its portfolio, it is also expanding its leadership team with Tony Rimas who has joined the firm as a venture partner. Rimas, who is the CEO of Repair OnDemand, brings a wide range of experience from the automotive industry, including retail, financial services, aftermarket, and fleet services. 

“We’re double-clicking on automotive retail and repair, supply chain efficiencies, and the picks and shovels that enable electrification, off-road autonomy, and financial and digital enterprise,” said Dan Hoffer, Autotech Ventures managing director. “Tony is a seasoned auto commerce investor and will further expand our capabilities to pursue these markets.”

Pioneering a Future Insurance Market
The startup is reaching final stages of development before launching a number of insurance programs with the likes of Aon, Breach and Evertas. Thanks to the new capital it’s possible to accelerate the engineering efforts for continuous upgrades post-launch as onboarding continues for the first users of the marketplace.

Nayms was the first in the space to hold both the full Digital Asset Business Act license and Innovative Insurer General Business license out of Bermuda, allowing their insurance partners to conduct regulated insurance business on-chain for the first time.

Dan Roberts, CEO of Nayms stated, “It is very exciting for us to work more deeply with one of our very first investors and board members. The real experience that the UDHC team has continues to drive us forward as we navigate building and launching our proposition to the market. This round of funding has set us up for an extremely strong 2023, with all the right players behind us.”

LOS ANGELES, April 19, 2023 — Ari Stiegler, CEO and co-founder of Prism, a first-of-its-kind lending platform for startup companies and employees, today commented on the promising market environment for disruptive technology startups and investors. Stiegler believes now is the ideal time to invest in early-stage, fast-growing companies as valuations have returned to more attractive levels after significant market consolidation since 2021.

“The recent correction in public and private markets provides a rare opportunity for investors to take advantage of historically attractive valuations in the technology sector,” Stiegler said. “Now is the time to deploy capital toward companies that are forging industries of the future. With inflation cooling and interest rates poised to plateau, we see a runway for the disruptors and innovators to regain investors’ favor and lead us into the next bull market.”

In addition to founding and leading Prism, Stiegler is managing partner of Flux Capital and has directed more than $200 million in transactions across venture capital, real estate and direct investments. His remarks follow the recent launch of Prism’s lending platform for employees of pre-IPO technology startups with valuations of $1 billion or higher. The platform enables employees to borrow against their company equity that was previously inaccessible without an acquisition or public listing.

Prism recently closed Seed and Series A fundraises totaling $26 million and signed agreements to begin originating loans in the coming months. The company maintains a strict underwriting process and offers competitive rates to meet the needs of the current financial environment.

“By launching Prism’s origination services, we are providing a superior liquidity solution as compared to a secondary sale or tender offer,” Stiegler said. “We are thrilled to provide much-needed liquidity to startup workers who have long struggled to access the equity they’ve earned in their company. Prism represents a win-win-win for startup leadership, employees and investors alike – providing shareholders with access to liquidity while allowing companies to attract and retain the top talent needed to increase shareholder value.”

About Prism

Prism partners with VC-backed private tech companies to offer liquidity to founders, employees, and investors. With Prism, employees can access cash and retain their equity’s future upside. Enabling employees to unlock illiquid stock-based compensation can significantly improve job satisfaction, employee retention, and recruiting efforts at a company. Prism’s loans are secured solely by the equity that each borrower posts as collateral, and have no personal recourse – meaning borrowers’ other assets are not at risk should the underlying equity decline in value. Prism’s loan marketplace tech platform, which facilitates originations between private shareholders and institutional lenders, is available to late-stage, venture-backed companies that partner with Prism.

• The funds will be used for launching new products, international expansion in the UK, EU, and Asian markets and augmentation of tech and data capabilities.
• The brand aims to serve customers at 15000+ retail distribution points across the US

BELLEVUE, Wash., April 19, 2023 — EcoSoul Home Inc., a category-leading start-up in the eco-friendly home essentials products space, has raised USD 10 million to wrap up its Series A round. This round is led by Accel and saw the participation of Singh Capital Partners. Over the past year, the company has seen tremendous growth in the US market. It has established itself as a leading player across key e-commerce platforms and retail banners in multiple product categories.

Consumers are increasingly gravitating towards buying environmentally and ethically sustainable products. A recent study by NielsenIQ found that 78 percent of US consumers say that a sustainable lifestyle is important to them. Products with ESG-related credentials accounted for 56 percent of all CPG growth. However, affordability is important to consumers as they adopt ESG products.

EcoSoul has fundamentally disrupted the home-essentials market by bringing eco-friendly alternatives within the 25% price range of traditional mainstream plastic or paper goods. In contrast, early eco-friendly home essentials competitor brands priced their products at 1.8x to 2.5x of mainstream plastic or paper-goods brands. Ecosoul has achieved this differentiation with product/material innovation and an optimum supply chain model.           

On the successful fundraise, co-founders Rahul Singh and Arvind Ganesan said, “We are grateful to our customers, investors, partners, and associates for helping us in driving our mission of accelerating the world’s transition to a sustainable lifestyle by creating plastic-free and tree-free products from earth’s most renewable resources. Our differentiated products and supply chain innovation enables us to bring eco-friendly home essentials to price points comparable to traditional plastic and tree-based paper goods. In short, we are democratizing the eco-friendly home essentials market. We are excited to see the strong adoption of our products in the US market. We thrive on this momentum and plan to expand our product range in potential international markets.”

Prashanth Prakash, partner at Accel said, “There is a global macro-tailwind of shifting away from the use of single-use plastic with increasing regulatory pressure. This coupled with rising consumer sentiments towards sustainable everyday essentials, especially in western markets is driving growth. EcoSoul is taking advantage of this demand and leveraging the Asian supply chain to offer eco-friendly products at affordable price points. The EcoSoul team, with their global supply chain expertise and strong commercial value proposition for retailers, is uniquely positioned to be one of the early disruptors in this industry.”

By 2030, the global eco-friendly & sustainable home goods market is expected to reach $300+ bn. In the US, even though sustainability-marketed products are 16.1% of the market, they delivered 54.7% of the CPG market growth. Sustainability-marketed products grew at a rate of 7.1 times that of conventionally marketed products and 3.8 times that of the CPG market.

EcoSoul has recently launched several products in India and has expansion plans for the Canada, UK, Germany and UAE markets in the categories of Kitchen and Dining, Bath, Home Care, and Baby and Feminine Care.

About EcoSoul Home:

Founded in 2020, EcoSoul Home Inc. is a global eco-friendly products company with an active sales and operational presence in countries like the USA, India, China, and Vietnam, offering more than 100+ products worldwide. The brand currently has multiple sales channels, including D2C, retail distribution across ~3500 stores in the US, and multiple B2B customers. Website link – https://www.ecosoulhome.com/
