Serve Robotics Secures $86 Million in New Financing in December, Solidifying Liquidity Position to Transform Last-Mile Delivery
06 Janvier 2025 - 1:30PM
Serve Robotics Inc. (“Serve” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SERV), a
leading autonomous delivery company, today announced that it raised
gross proceeds of $86 million during December 2024, bringing total
gross proceeds raised in 2024 to $167 million. Since its spinout
from Uber in 2021, the Company has secured approximately $220
million in total funding. The additional December 2024 funding
includes proceeds raised through Serve’s previously filed ATM
facility and the exercise of warrants. As of December 31, 2024,
Serve had a total of approximately 51.5 million shares of common
stock issued and outstanding.
This infusion of capital significantly strengthens Serve’s
financial position, extending its expected operational runway
approximately through the end of 2026. Serve is now able to
self-fund equipment investments, eliminating the near-term need for
equipment financing and its associated servicing costs. By
preserving balance sheet flexibility and optimizing its cost of
capital with efficient, lower cost funding solutions, the Company
is well-positioned to support strategic initiatives and invest in
further advancing its technology leadership.
The successful fundraising in 2024 underscores Serve’s position
as a leader in transforming last-mile delivery, as the Company aims
to ramp up production of its third-generation robots and prepares
to enter several new markets.
“This liquidity position reflects strong confidence in our
vision and market potential,” said Brian Read, Chief Financial
Officer of Serve Robotics. “Looking ahead, we believe we are
well-positioned to continue to scale our operations and enter new
markets in 2025 and beyond.”
