| May 2022 | Series D | Goldman Sachs (lead); SoftBank Group (lead); Porsche | $537M | $2.3B | Rimac Group, a Croatian leader in electrified vehicle technology, raised EUR 500 million ($536 million) in its Series D funding round on 1 June 2022, led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, with participation from existing shareholders including Porsche and InvestIndustrial. The round valued the company at over EUR 2 billion post-money, with founder Mate Rimac remaining the largest shareholder and Porsche holding approximately 20% stake. The funds are earmarked primarily for expanding Rimac Technology, its subsidiary focused on designing, engineering, and manufacturing high-performance EV components like batteries and e-axles for global OEMs, including scaling to large-volume series production. Rimac Group owns 100% of Rimac Technology, is the majority shareholder of Bugatti Rimac—a joint venture formed in November 2021 merging Rimac Automobili's hypercar division with Bugatti Automobiles—and has investments in other ventures like Verne. Bugatti Rimac produces ultra-luxury hypercars such as the Rimac Nevera (1,914 horsepower, 0-60 mph in 1.85 seconds) and Bugatti Chiron, with Porsche holding 45% in that entity. Rimac Technology has become a Tier 1 supplier, producing tens of thousands of components annually, including hybrid and fully electric battery systems and full rolling chassis. The investment supports hiring over 700 additional staff in 2022 (from over 1,500), building a $200 million campus in Zagreb, Croatia, and exploring new production sites like Italy, aiming for 100,000 batteries annually between 2024-2026. CEO Mate Rimac emphasized independence from larger automakers like Porsche and Hyundai while leveraging their partnerships. The round positions Rimac for potential future IPO, though the CEO noted sales would need to double before considering listing, amid challenging public markets for EV startups. Competitive context includes positioning as a Tesla rival in hypercars and a key EV tech supplier, with backers like Hyundai Motor Group and emphasis on premium mobility and energy solutions across Europe-based operations. |
| Apr 2022 | Undisclosed stage | Investindustrial (lead) | $127M | - | Rimac Group, a Croatian leader in high-performance electric vehicle technology and hypercars, received a €120 million investment commitment from InvestIndustrial around April 2022 through various instruments to support its next growth phase. This followed InvestIndustrial's initial 2021 investment and leveraged their automotive expertise from companies like Ducati, Aston Martin, and Morgan Motors to accelerate Rimac's electrification efforts. The investment aided Rimac Technology, a key subsidiary developing EV components for OEMs such as Porsche, Hyundai, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, and Pininfarina, while Rimac Group oversaw hypercar production including the Nevera. Rimac Group, founded in 2009 by Mate Rimac, employed over 1,300 people by 2022 and managed an ecosystem including full ownership of Rimac Technology, majority stake in Bugatti Rimac, and investments in Verne. The April 2022 funding from InvestIndustrial built on prior rounds, such as a March 2021 investment led by Porsche valuing the company at around $923M. Sources describe this as a private equity round of approximately $127M or $130.28M, with InvestIndustrial as the lead. A subsequent Series D round on June 1, 2022, raised €500M (or ~$535M) led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, with participation from Porsche and InvestIndustrial, valuing Rimac Group at over €2 billion post-money. Funds supported manufacturing innovation, production expansion, and talent acquisition amid growing demand for EV technology. |
| Mar 2021 | Undisclosed stage | Porsche Ventures (lead) | $82M | $925M | Rimac Group, a Croatia-based electric supercar technology developer, owns Rimac Automobili and produces proprietary battery technology, vehicle components, electric vehicle systems, and advanced drive assistance systems. In March 2021, Porsche Ventures invested approximately $83 million (reported as $83.2M or $83.07M) in a corporate minority round, increasing Porsche's stake from 15% to 24% at a post-money valuation of $925 million. This followed prior investments by Porsche starting in 2018 and other backers including Hyundai, Kia, China Dynamics, and Camel Group. The investment strengthened the strategic partnership, positioning Rimac as a Tier 1 supplier for high-tech electromobility components like high-performance drives and battery systems, with Porsche placing orders for series components. The 2021 round highlighted Rimac's growth trajectory amid expanding electromobility demand, with Porsche emphasizing the company's technological development and innovation under CEO Mate Rimac. The investment did not involve a controlling stake, maintaining Rimac's independence while benefiting both parties through deepened cooperation on electrified products. Later in 2021, Porsche and Rimac formed the Bugatti Rimac joint venture to manage the Bugatti brand, previously under Volkswagen. This partnership evolved further, but by 2025 reports emerged of Rimac potentially acquiring Porsche's 45% stake in Bugatti Rimac, valued over €1 billion. A subsequent Series D round in 2022 raised €500 million ($536M) at around $2.1 billion valuation from SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Goldman Sachs, and Porsche, funding production expansion and hiring 700 employees. |
| May 2019 | Strategic investment | Hyundai (lead); Kia (lead) | $90M | - | Rimac Automobili, a Croatian high-performance electric vehicle technology and sportscar company, received a joint investment of €80 million (approximately $90 million) from Hyundai Motor Company (€64 million) and Kia Motors (€16 million) on May 14, 2019. The deal established a strategic technology partnership to collaborate on developing an electric version of Hyundai’s N brand midship sports car and a high-performance fuel cell electric vehicle, aimed at production by 2020. Rimac, known for its EV hypercars like the C_Two and as a supplier of electrification components, positioned the investment to transition from low-volume manufacturing to a Tier-1 supplier in the industry. Hyundai Motor Group sought to accelerate its Clean Mobility strategy and leverage Rimac’s expertise in high-performance EV tech, building on prior familiarity as Rimac already supplied components to the group. Executives highlighted Rimac’s innovative capabilities and startup agility as ideal for joint development of powerful, customer-focused electric vehicles. The partnership aligned with Hyundai’s broader investments in EV, autonomous tech, and mobility services globally. At the time, Rimac had previously attracted investment from Porsche, taking a 10% stake, underscoring its growing appeal to automakers. The round fit into a robust 2019 EV funding landscape, with $2.1 billion across 27 rounds, though smaller than self-driving tech investments. |
| Sep 2017 | Undisclosed stage | Camel Group Co (lead) | $35M | $81M | Rimac Automobili, founded in 2009 in a garage in Croatia, develops high-performance electric supercars like the Concept_One and supplies electric vehicle technologies including battery packs and drivetrains to global OEMs such as Aston Martin and Koenigsegg. In September 2017, Rimac Automobili and sister company Greyp Bikes secured a EUR 30 million investment from China's Camel Group, Asia's largest battery manufacturer, marking the largest foreign direct investment in a Croatian tech company at the time. Camel Group allocated EUR 3 million to Greyp Bikes, with the remainder funding new product launches, production capacity expansion, and global market growth for Rimac, including a new state-of-the-art facility and the next-generation electric supercar revealed as Concept_Two in 2018. The investment positioned Rimac to access the Chinese market and collaborate on advanced battery systems and powertrains, aligning with Camel's strategy to supply new energy vehicle components to Chinese automakers amid China's push toward electrification. At the time, Rimac had around 250 employees and had tripled its value since 2014 to over EUR 200 million, though a prior round raised EUR 10 million at a EUR 70 million valuation. The company focused on luxury electric sports cars priced around EUR 1 million each. This 2017 deal preceded Rimac's later growth into the Rimac Group, which by 2022 achieved a $2.2 billion valuation with investments from Goldman Sachs, SoftBank, Porsche, and Hyundai, expanding into Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology while planning an eventual public listing. |
