Fundraising and financial business model for a solar automotive company
Share
Lightyear is a Dutch company that provides sustainable solutions to reduce the CO₂ impact of mobility by producing solar panels for other car manufacturers. In 2022, it was injected with € 81 million by a group of public investors, led by Invest NL.
The challenge
Lightyear raised this money to change its product from developing the world’s first car on solar-energy to creating solar panels for other car manufacturers. This transition required an entire new business model and management team.
“ The work executed by the Sweaver was of great value. His input was pragmatic while he worked independently and brought in the exact expertise we needed.
