Splend, the innovative provider of eco-friendly and affordable vehicles for on-demand drivers, is excited to announce the successful completion of a $100 million funding round, a significant milestone that underscores our commitment to revolutionizing the gig economy. Since our inception in Sydney in 2015, we have been dedicated to empowering drivers by offering not just vehicles, but a comprehensive support system designed to boost their earnings and enhance their job satisfaction. This new funding will allow us to expand our range of offerings, invest in cutting-edge technology, and streamline our operations, ensuring that our members can earn efficiently and effectively in an ever-evolving landscape.
Over the past seven years, we have proudly supported drivers from diverse backgrounds — students, retirees, former refugees, and single parents — enabling them to find fulfilling work that fits their lifestyle. Our extensive community resources, dedicated support teams, and advanced training initiatives have been instrumental in helping drivers improve their ratings and maximize their income potential. With this new capital, we aim to further strengthen our mission of providing an unrivaled level of service, while also rolling out additional features to equip drivers with the skills needed to succeed. As we continue to expand our presence across nine cities in Australia, the Americas, and Europe, Splend is more committed than ever to fostering a supportive environment that empowers drivers to take control of their careers and thrive in a dynamic on-demand economy. The journey has just begun, and we are excited to see what the future holds!
