LOS ANGELES, Sept. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HyreCar Inc. (NASDAQ: HYRE), the leader in carsharing for rideshare and food/beverage delivery, announced today an agreement with a premier global investment bank and Medalist Partners for a
Through this initial warehousing line, HyreCar expects AmeriDrive to add an additional 6,000 to 7,000 vehicles over the next 12 to 18 months to the HyreCar platform. These vehicle assets will serve as collateral under the facility. As previously indicated, the company expects this line to begin a broader facility expansion into white-labeling vehicle financing for HyreCar’s fleet operators.
“While the HyreCar platform has consistently generated upwards of 30,000 driver leads every month, our bottleneck to growth has always been constrained by car supply. This partnership with Medalist, in conjunction with a premier investment bank, is the start of the next chapter for HyreCar’s growth as we seek to address the chronic shortage of drivers and cars for rideshare and delivery companies in North America,” said Joe Furnari, CEO of HyreCar. “We continue to expect to be profitable at the 6,500 to 7,000 daily car rental threshold, and we believe this deal will allow us to exceed that number. As a reminder, every 10,000 active rented cars on the HyreCar platform represents approximately
“We are excited to provide asset-backed financing solutions to innovative companies in the EV and alternative transportation space,” said John Slonieski, Director of Private Credit and Partner at Medalist Partners. “We view the space as a multibillion-dollar opportunity and believe that HyreCar is uniquely positioned to deliver on continued growth in enabling drivers in this space.”
HyreCar remains focused on growing responsibly by expanding into new markets and aligning geographically with premier rideshare and delivery partners in the United States. The initial warehousing line strengthens HyreCar’s strategic partnership with AmeriDrive. This partnership includes exclusivity of AmeriDrive vehicles on the HyreCar platform that, in tandem with the line of credit, favorably positions the two companies to achieve meaningful and rapid scale. The company believes that the AmeriDrive collaboration is a model for how the HyreCar platform can remain asset-light and not carry vehicles on its balance sheet even as it builds, integrates, and manages future partnerships with fleet operators across the country.
