Automobility Tech Deals [3Q2022]

3rd Edition – July 18, 2022

This quarterly newsletter features companies from our EXCELerate pipeline that are actively fundraising and aim to close rounds in the next 3-6 months.

Automobility’s EXCELerate Pipeline and Internet of Mobility Thesis

The core of our thesis revolves around our view that digital disruption has created a solutions-oriented “new game” dominated by players that view mobility and associated services as a means to disintermediate the traditional automotive industry “old game” business model.

The core technologies that enable new revenue and profit opportunities lie in the 4 layers of the IoM “stack” depicted above. Our portfolio companies offer what we believe to be very attractive opportunities to profit from investing in these core technologies.This table summarizes the startups featured in this edition:

About Automobility

Automobility Limited is a strategy and investment advisory firm helping its clients to create the future of mobility. Mobility needs, previously satisfied through product “ownership”, are increasingly being served through mobility services “usership” with profound implications not only for traditional businesses within the value chain, but also for new entrants – as they compete to deliver services. Connected mobility, which we define as “technology-enabled on-demand mobility services for moving people and goods from point A to B”, has become a disruptive, paradigm-changing development in the automotive industry. It requires a complete rethinking of the way to deliver value to the market. To succeed, companies must expand their focus from the product (the automobile) to the utility derived from the product (“automobility”) and create a business model and digital ecosystem optimized to provide digitally enabled solutions for both car owners and mobility services users.
