A crowdfunding round for electric car-sharing platform evee hit its maximum target overnight of $1.6 million as retail investors flocked to grab a slice of the fast-moving company.
The former head of developer delight and media at Atlassian and the former marketplace director of Canva joined in on evee’s raise, enabling the company to push forward with its global aspirations.
The average investment from the 618 backers was $2,479 - well above the $1,600 average across Birchal’s platform - further demonstrating Australians' appetite to support the scaleup.
In addition, an extra $70,000 on top of the $1.6 million came through in the final hour of the raise - with those contributing to the oversubscription to land on a waitlist in case any existing investments fall through.
CLIENT: CARLA FROM BANKSTOWN
OUTLET: ROLLING STONES
There aren’t many people who could (deliberately) mispronounce the former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s name at the height of her pandemic powers, and still get a call from “Gladys Butter Chicken” on their birthday.
But that’s exactly what Carla From Bankstown did.
Carla is the brainchild of Benjamin James. She’s a sassy, no-nonsense woman from Sydney’s Bankstown who loves efficiency, hates time wasters, loves the word “gronk” and would not, under any circumstances, let the increasingly loathed then-Prime Minister Scott Morrison talk to her beloved (pretend) boss Berejiklian.
