Lime Funding Rounds

DateStageInvestorsRaisedValuationRev. MultipleDeal Summary
Nov-21Undisclosed stageHighbridge Capital Management; Sixty Degree Capital; SquareOne Capital; Fidelity; Uber; True Capital Management; Abu Dhabi Fund for Development$523M-Lime, a San Francisco-based shared electric bike and scooter company, raised $418 million in a convertible note round on November 5, 2021, from investors including Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Fidelity Investments, Highbridge Capital Management, and Uber. A separate $105M loan occurred same day. This followed a May 2020 Series E round of $170M at a post-money valuation of $370-540M from Uber, Alphabet, and others. The funding supported operations amid pandemic recovery in micromobility sector. Lime positioned as a leader in sustainable urban transport with swappable battery vehicles for higher durability and utilization. By 2022, it achieved key milestones including first full profitable year with adjusted EBITDA of $15M and unadjusted $4M, alongside record $466M gross bookings (33% YoY increase from 2021) and 120M trips. Earlier 2023 reports noted $616M gross bookings and over $90M adjusted EBITDA, with 60% revenue from international markets like Europe and Australia. Competitive context showed industry challenges, with peers like Bird going public via SPAC at $2.3B in 2021 but plummeting to penny stock status amid losses. Lime focused on owned fleet (Gen4 scooters/e-bikes lasting 5+ years), market share gains, and profitability without heavy R&D, serving 250+ cities. Plans included expansion with 30,000+ new bikes, re-entry to markets like Greece/Mexico, advertising revenue, and potential IPO postponed from 2021 due to conditions.
May-20Series DUber$170M$510MLime, a San Francisco-based micromobility company founded in 2017, operates a free-to-download app enabling users to locate and ride electric scooters or bicycles for 15 cents a minute, with expansion to 40 markets across the US and Europe. On May 7, 2020, Lime closed a $170 million funding round led by Uber, with participation from existing investors including Alphabet, Bain Capital Ventures, GV, and others, bringing total funding to approximately $765-777 million. As part of the deal, Lime acquired Uber's micromobility subsidiary Jump, integrating operations and enabling app interoperability for bikes and scooters to enhance urban mobility options amid COVID-19 recovery. The round valued Lime at $510 million post-money, a 79% drop from its prior $2.4 billion valuation in April 2019, reflecting pandemic impacts after Lime had nearly achieved profitability before pausing operations in 99% of markets and laying off 13% of staff in April 2020. Uber's investment, its second in Lime since 2018, underscores belief in Lime's operational expertise for scaled, sustainable micromobility, with CEO Dara Khosrowshahi highlighting its urban transport role. Lime promoted Wayne Ting from global head of operations to CEO, with founder Brad Bao transitioning to chairman. This financing positions Lime to meet post-quarantine demand as cities implement bike-friendly measures like slow streets, emphasizing safe, affordable transport to reduce car dependence. Prior rounds included a GV-led $335 million Series C in 2018 and a $120 million round with multiple VCs.
Feb-19Series DBain Capital Ventures$310M$2.4BLime, an app-based electric scooter and bicycle rental service formerly known as LimeBike, raised $310 million in a Series D funding round in early 2019, led by Bain Capital Ventures with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Fidelity Ventures, GV, IVP, and others including Alphabet, Coatue, DCM, Fifth Wall, GGV Capital, GIC, GSV Capital, FJ Labs, Bling Capital, GR Capital, and St. Augustine Partners. The round valued the company at $2.4 billion post-money, bringing total funding to over $800 million. Funds were allocated to expand into new markets, enhance technology, strengthen the team, pilot new opportunities, and invest in rider safety and city collaboration. At the time, Lime operated in over 100 cities across the US and 27 international cities in 15 countries on five continents, having achieved more than 10 million sign-ups and 34 million trips, with a 5.5x increase in trips over the prior seven months. The company had recently partnered with Segway for next-generation scooters designed for safety, durability, and longer battery life, though it faced challenges including a scooter recall due to battery fires and a $3 million safety initiative. Lime also integrated its services into the Uber app and positioned itself as a leader in micromobility for first- and last-mile commuting. This round followed rumors of a $400 million raise at a $2 billion pre-money valuation and built on prior funding, including a $335 million round in July 2018 led by GV at a reported $1.1 billion valuation. Lime's rapid growth outpaced early ride-hail industry metrics, but it encountered regulatory hurdles, such as San Francisco denying scooter permits due to safety concerns. The investment underscored investor confidence in Lime's role in the burgeoning micromobility sector amid competition from players like Bird.
Jul-18Series CGV$335M$1.1BLime, a San Francisco-based mobility startup offering electric bikes and scooters for sharing, raised $335 million in a funding round on July 9, 2018, led by GV (Google Ventures) with participation from Alphabet, Uber, IVP, Atomico, Fidelity Management and Research Company, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Fifth Wall, and GIC. The round valued Lime at $1.1 billion post-money, according to Bloomberg reports cited across sources, bringing total funding to around $467 million since its founding about 18 months prior. GV's Joe Kraus joined the Lime board, and the capital was earmarked for global expansion, new technology and product development, infrastructure buildout, and team growth. This funding followed competitive dynamics in the scooter-sharing market, coming shortly after rival Bird raised $300 million at a $2 billion valuation. Lime partnered with Uber to integrate scooters into its app with co-branding, enhancing distribution. Earlier in June 2018, Lime was in talks for a GV-led round initially around $250 million, with strong traction shown by 4.2 million total rides, including 1 million in three weeks, and scooters averaging 8-12 uses per day. Analysts noted Lime's $1.1 billion valuation appeared reasonable amid explosive growth, with metrics like $95.65 valuation per ride across 11.5 million rides. Unofficial estimates derived 11.5 million rides at $2.5 average fare implied accrued revenue yielding roughly $38.26 valuation per revenue dollar, but no sources explicitly stated revenue, ARR, or EBITDA figures for 2018. The round positioned Lime for international growth beyond the US, contrasting Bird's higher valuation.
Feb-18Series BSquareOne Capital; Ed Baker; Rainbow Technologies; Fifth Wall; NGP Capital; Night Owl Ventures; Andreas Penna$70M-In February 2018 LimeBike, the San Francisco dockless bike-sharing startup now known as Lime, raised an additional $70 million as an extension of its Series B round. The extension was led by the real-estate technology investor Fifth Wall Ventures, with participation from Rainbow Technology, and followed the $50 million Series B led by Coatue that the company announced in October 2017. The new money brought LimeBike's total funding to $132 million. Fifth Wall's partners said real estate owners wanted bike sharing, and the firm planned to work with LimeBike on parking hubs and rider incentives at office buildings and other properties owned by its real-estate investors. At the time LimeBike was moving beyond pedal bikes into pedal-assist electric bikes and electric scooters, and it reported that about 40% of its rides started or ended at public transit stations. The company was led by chief executive Toby Sun and competed with Spin, JUMP, Ofo and Motivate in the U.S. bike-sharing market.
Oct-17Series BThirty Five Ventures; Evolution VC Partners; S32; Andreessen Horowitz; NGP Capital; GGV Capital; Coatue; Franklin Templeton; DCM Ventures$50M$225MLime, formerly LimeBike, is a US-based micromobility company founded in January 2017 by Brad Bao and Toby Sun, offering app-based electric scooter and bicycle rentals. It began operations at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in June 2017 with 125 bicycles and expanded to cities like Key Biscayne, South Bend, and Seattle by July 2017. The company raised a $12 million Series A in March 2017 led by Andreessen Horowitz with DCM Ventures and others. In October 2017, Lime closed a Series B funding round, announcing a valuation of $225 million. This aligns with the specified investors including lead Coatue, Andreessen Horowitz, DCM Ventures, and others like Evolution VC Partners, Putnam Premier IT, NGP Capital, Notable Capital, S32, and Thirty Five Ventures. Subsequent rounds included a $335 million raise in 2018 at $1.1 billion valuation led by GV (Alphabet), bringing total funding to over $467 million by early 2019. Lime expanded to over 100 markets globally, competing with Bird in the scooter-sharing space.
