Carla announced €10 million in a Series A funding round

Carla, a Stockholm, Sweden-based startup building an ecommerce operation selling electric cars in Sweden, announced that it secured €10 million ($11.4M) in a Series A funding round.

The money was raised locally from investors led by VNV Global, joined by Inbox Capital, Luminar Ventures, Max Ventures, Voi Technologies’ co-founder Fredrik Hjelm, and the founders of Swedish fintech company Anyfin.

The announcement comes one month after Carls'a $3.1 million seed round.

Carla, founded as Caroo in 2020 by CEO Patrik Illerstig and Niklas Jungegård, developed an ecommerce platform aiming to provide a convenient way to buy or lease an electrified vehicle online. The company operates as a marketplace, as it also is involved in acquiring electric cars - the cars purchased on the site are delivered with the company's own transport service and must undergo a thorough inspection covering more than 280 points.
