| Sep 2025 | Undisclosed stage | Cool Japan Fund (lead) | $60M | $3.8B | Carro is Asia Pacific's leading online automotive marketplace founded in 2013, operating as a unicorn startup that transacts over 100,000 units of new and used vehicles per year across seven markets (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong). The platform provides an integrated auto ecosystem including digital sales, auto financing, digital insurance brokering, and after-sales services. In September 2025, Carro closed a US$60 million strategic funding round led by Cool Japan Fund, Japan's government-backed sovereign wealth fund, with participation from additional new investors. According to Reuters reporting from August 2025, sources indicated that Carro was considering a US initial public offering at a valuation exceeding US$3 billion, with the company subsequently considering a dual listing and expansion into Australia. Chief executive Aaron Tan stated the company was confident in increasing Japanese plug-in hybrid electric vehicle market share across the Asia-Pacific region, capitalizing on expected growth driven by economic expansion, rising middle-income populations, and government EV subsidies in markets like Indonesia and Thailand. Backed by long-standing investors including Temasek and SoftBank Group, Carro represents the first major automotive technology and commerce startup from Singapore to pursue a US public listing. |
| Dec 2021 | Series C | Celestial Sage International (lead); Aldama Investments; Simon James Moran | $16M | - | Carro is a used car marketplace operating in Singapore. It raised US$15.6 million from Celestial Sage International, Aldama Investments, and Simon James Moran as part of its ongoing funding round around December 2021, with Celestial Sage International as the lead investor. |
| Nov 2021 | Series C | Temasek; Mirae Asset; Greater Honour International; Emtek; Permodalan Nasional Berhad; Shinhan Financial Group; Sime Darby; Janchor Partners | $100M | $1.5B | Carro is a Singapore-based online marketplace for buying and selling new and used cars, operating in markets including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Founded in 2015 by Aaron Tan and classmates from Carnegie Mellon University, the company has expanded through acquisitions and investments, such as buying Indonesian site Jualo.com in 2019 and launching in Malaysia via myTukar. In November 2021, Carro raised over $100 million in a Series C extension round led by Temasek Holdings and Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), with participation from Sime Darby, Shinhan Financial Group, Mirae Asset, and others. Sources report a post-money valuation of $1.5 billion for this $100 million raise, following a prior June 2021 Series C of $360 million from SoftBank that valued the company at $1 billion; one report notes a 10% valuation increase. Funds were earmarked for market expansion, including M&A in Hong Kong and Japan, ahead of potential IPO preparations. Carro continued growth post-round, acquiring stakes in Indonesian rental firms and partnering with entities like Jardine Cycle & Carriage in 2023-2024. |
| Jun 2021 | Series C | SoftBank Group (lead); Ion Pacific; Endeavor Catalyst; MSIG Holdings Vietnam; Beacon Venture Capital; EV Growth; Bossa Invest | $360M | $1B | Carro, Southeast Asia's largest automotive marketplace founded in 2015, operates a full-stack AI-powered platform for buying, selling, financing, insuring, and maintaining vehicles, primarily secondhand cars, across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. Its subsidiaries include Genie, myTukar, and Jualo. The company announced a $360 million Series C funding round on June 15, 2021, led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, with participation from EV Growth, MSIG Holdings Vietnam, and other investors including Beacon Venture Capital, Bossa Invest, Endeavor Catalyst, and Ion Pacific, pushing total equity raised over $400 million. This round elevated Carro to unicorn status, achieving a post-money valuation exceeding $1 billion USD, marking it as Southeast Asia's first automotive marketplace unicorn and Singapore's seventh overall. Carro's CEO Aaron Tan confirmed to Reuters the valuation was 'well over a billion dollars.' Funds were allocated to expand retail operations in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, enhance financial services beyond in-house loans (with a $200 million loan book), pursue acquisitions, and accelerate AI for pricing, vehicle showcasing, and insurance. For the financial year ending March 2021, Carro reported over 2.5x growth in annual revenue and remained EBITDA positive for the second consecutive year, earning recognition as Asia Pacific's fastest-growing company by Financial Times and Statista in 2021. It facilitated about $1 billion annualized run-rate GMV. SoftBank, an early investor since 2016 via SoftBank Ventures Asia, continued support through Vision Fund 2. Carro differentiates with innovations like contactless car purchases, subscriptions, behavior-based insurance, money-back guarantees, and warranties, aiming to automate operations for margin improvement. The round aligned with surging Southeast Asian used car market digitalization amid new consumer habits. |
| Aug 2020 | Series A | Mitsubishi (lead); MS&AD Ventures (lead) | $11M | $289M | Carro is Southeast Asia’s largest car marketplace, operating an online platform for buying, selling, and renting used cars, along with related services such as insurance, breakdown coverage, and financing. In 2020, Carro raised equity funding from new strategic investors Mitsubishi Corporation and MS&AD Ventures, with the post-money valuation reaching US$289.1 million. The company also secured close to S$150 million in debt financing facilities to strengthen its liquidity position and fuel regional expansion. This investment reflects confidence in Carro’s performance, as it remained EBITDA positive throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and achieved over 500% year-on-year revenue growth in September 2020 from its pre-owned automotive e-commerce and contactless car purchase businesses. Carro reported nearly S$1 billion in GMV annualized run-rate and over 2 million monthly active users at the time. For FY2019 ended March, it generated S$57.8 million from sales of goods, with total topline impacted by inventory changes leading to an operating loss of S$3.4 million. The company projected reaching S$1 billion in annualized revenue run rate by 2022. |
| Mar 2019 | Series B | Hanwha Asset Management (lead); SBVA (lead); Singtel Innov8; The Dietrich Foundation; Alpha JWC Ventures; EDBI; Insignia Ventures Partners; Golden Gate Ventures; B Capital; NCore Ventures | $30M | - | Carro is Southeast Asia's largest automotive marketplace, founded in 2015, offering online car buying and selling, wholesale to dealers, retail to consumers, and fintech services like loans and insurance across Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. In August 2019, Carro closed its Series B funding round at US$90 million, supported by investors including SoftBank Ventures Asia (SBVA), EDBI, Insignia Ventures Partners, B Capital Group, and others, building on prior funding to reach over US$105 million total raised since inception. The specified March 2019 investors like Hanwha Asset Management and SBVA align with this Series B extension, enabling expansion of services such as first car subscription in Singapore and after-sales like workshops and roadside recovery. For FY2019 ended March, Carro recorded S$66.1 million in revenue, up from S$15.9 million the prior year, primarily from S$57.8 million in goods sales, with additional fees, commissions, interest, and leasing income. This topline was offset by S$56.8 million in inventory changes, resulting in an operating loss of S$3.4 million and net loss of S$3.1 million. The company reported 500% year-on-year revenue growth in September post-FY2019, driven by digitized services amid rising used car demand. Carro remained EBITDA positive through the Covid-19 pandemic per CFO statements and hit unicorn status in 2021 with a $360M Series C led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2. |
| May 2018 | Series B | B Capital (lead); Insignia Ventures Partners (lead); SBVA (lead); Singtel Innov8; Alpha JWC Ventures; Manik Arora; Golden Gate Ventures; K3 Ventures; Venturra | $60M | - | Carro is Southeast Asia's largest online automotive marketplace, operating as a wholesale platform for buying, selling, financing, subscription services, insurance, workshops, and roadside assistance across Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. The company expanded aggressively into Thailand and Indonesia in 2017, achieving over US$500 million in transaction value by 2018, with exponential growth from US$100 million in 2016 to US$250 million in 2017. The platform transacted over 4,000 vehicles monthly in Indonesia and Thailand by 2019, onboarded tens of thousands of dealers, and launched subscription-based car services in Singapore with strong waitlist demand. A $60M Series B round is referenced around 2018-2019 with investors including B Capital, Insignia Ventures Partners, and others, followed by an additional US$30M extension in August 2019 from SoftBank Ventures Asia, EDBI, and existing backers, bringing total funding over US$100M at that point. Later traction includes FY2019 revenue of S$66.1 million (up from S$15.9M prior year), primarily from car sales, with net loss of S$3.1M; the company claimed EBITDA positivity during Covid-19 and projected S$1B annualized revenue run rate by 2022. Recent FY2025 audited figures show record revenues of S$1.2B, gross profit S$149M, and EBITDA S$43M, with expansion into new energy vehicles and AI-driven optimizations. The used car market context positions Carro to capitalize on anti-cyclical demand, digitizing dealer networks and consumer services amid regional growth. |
