Investors?

[Wilson Tsai]

Curious which round investors came in at?

Bought in Aptera’s last round.
Doubled down again on this current round.

I absolutely love what the company is doing and what they stand for.
Solid co-founders and management team.

Been following Tesla, Rivian, Sonos, Lucid and it would be great to see Aptera’s public debut (SPAC/IPO) be as successful.

I did a thought experiment for the worst case scenarios to keep expectations in check though:
They take way longer to go into production resulting in a delayed IPO/SPAC.
Severe market downturn or cooling off of EV mania, resulting in only a $1b-$3b public market cap debut.
Lukewarm public interest beyond the niche community of Aptera lovers.

If the above does become reality, would I still have invested?
Absolutely. Only regret was not having been part of the first WeFunder raise.

PS: Mad kudos to anyone who took part in their 2019 WeFunder campaign when they were only valued at $25m!

I sure didn’t roll as high as you but I did throw down some money. I did it just because they’re trying to do something worthwhile. And trying to do something for the good is better than not.

No matter what your amount, it’s one more vote of confidence in their mission of giving drivers a more sustainable alternative mode of transportation. ✌

I invested on the second fundraising, the first was already filled and closed within hours and before I went online to do that myself, I invested an equal amount when the Alphas were done and will do same with Betas are done.

Do you think they might close this round at some point? I seem to remember hearing that 40 million would get them into production. There was a recent published report that they had raised 28 million in this round, but I’m not sure how stale that info might be.

They’ve been seeking $40 million this round, and collected at least $28 million so far, but they received $20 million in the previous round and $4 million in the Wefunder round before that. I believe they said they had enough for production a long time ago. I’m a bit surprised they haven’t already raised the additional $40 million this round, but beforehand they were seeking $30 million this round and just decided to increase it to $40 million, I think to work on their 4 wheel prototype and to avoid another round before the IPO.
