Idea

Introduction

UFODRIVE is a world leading fully sustainable car rental company. We go beyond Net Zero emissions by operating a 100% clean fleet plus making contributions, via Ark2030, to help global environment regeneration.

We set out to radically improve car rental and accelerate the transition to electric mobility.

We eliminated everything you don’t like about renting a car and re-invented a fully customer-focused experience that is 100% digital, 100% electric and we believe, better on every level.

No more queues, poor service, confusing options or polluting emissions. Instead, you get premium electric cars, in prime locations, with a simple & transparent app-based rental process that eliminates all the usual hassle.

We’re already in 17 locations and 8 countries in just two years, expanding further with a growing community of loyal, repeat customers and poised to disrupt the $130bn rental market.

Even better, everything we do for individual customers, we make available as a SaaS for Fleet users through our unique next generation EV Mobility Platform.

The world is going electric and we are at the leading edge of this mobility revolution.

We’re ready to go exponential.

Substantial accomplishments to date

Car Rental

· Completely redesigned car rental from the ground up to deliver a radically better solution.
· Launched in 17 locations across 8 countries in 2 years.
· Our customers have driven over 10 million kilometres, hassle-free, thanks to our technology.
· Path to expansion secured with location deals in place with parking networks & airports in Europe and the USA.

Customer

· Consistently strong customer feedback, 100% customer growth in 2020.
· Dynamic, community-driven growth engine in place, powered by membership scheme, loyalty & referral bonuses, and climate rewards scheme.
· Highest Net Promotor Score in car rental.

Climate

· Saved over 1 million kg of Co2 (based on internal estimates).
· Accelerating the transition to electric mobility by introducing thousands of drivers to the benefits of EV driving.
· Simplified that transition to EV driving by eliminating range concerns, charging concerns, and where to charge across our network of 130,000 connected chargers. Our app guides and alerts drivers with in-journey prompts on when and where to charge.

Fleet Management Platform

· Built a unique end-to-end eMobility platform, aiming to deliver 5x industry margins to fleet operations.
· Launched our SaaS Mobility Solutions platform enabling Fleet operators to quickly switch to and scale an EV fleet. First customers live, substantial pipeline in place.

Monetisation strategy

We have two main revenue streams:

1. Rental - Direct rental revenue from our locations. We already have a well-established network of 17 prime locations across 8 countries. New locations can bring in revenue from day 1.

2. SaaS Platform - Implementation & subscription fees for new and existing customers. Targeted customers are companies, fleet operators, shared fleets, last mile operators, etc. Basically anyone who has realised that the clock has already started ticking on the de-carbonisation of mobility and looking to quickly convert to or scale up electric fleets.

Use of proceeds

We intend to deploy the funds raised as part of this round as follows:

New locations & Fleet – 35%

- At least 6 new locations in 2021, including two new UK locations.

Marketing & Brand – 25%

- Growth to date achieved with small marketing spend. Targeted brand awareness & marketing campaigns to further drive rental utilization.

Talent - 20%

- Focused acquisition of a small number of key hires to bolster our Sales & Technical teams.

Technology – 20%

- Further investment in development and rollout of our Mobility Solutions EV fleet management platform.

Work has already progressed on larger Series A round in 2021 (targeting €10m) to grow UFODRIVE globally.

Perks

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from Convertible

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

Pitch type

There are 5 types of investment pitch available on Seedrs.

  • Equity
  • Convertible
  • Fund
  • Cohort
  • Secondary

Investing in a convertible campaign allows you to invest today, with your investment converting into equity in the future, at a discount compared to other investors.

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Seedrs nominee

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Seedrs nominee.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Seedrs Nominee). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
