A bit about Splend
Founded in Sydney in 2015, Splend is a technology-enabled vehicle subscription provider that helps people to earn a living through on-demand apps, such as Uber, by providing flexible vehicle subscription and ownership plans. The idea originally originated from providing all individuals with the opportunity to generate an income by driving for a rideshare platform, even without owning or traditionally financing a car. As on-demand driving grew and became a part of modern society, Splend was able to expand to nine different cities across Australia, the Americas, and Europe, grow their global team to over 150 employees and raise $25 million in equity and over $200 million in vehicle financing. Splend is now leading the green mobility transition through rolling out electric and hybrid vehicles across its markets and leveraging its vehicle subscription platform to expand into further market segments.
