Socar Pre-IPO

SoCar is looking to raise up to US$159m in its upcoming Korea IPO.

SoCar is a Korean car sharing business which aims to become an all-in-one mobility solutions provider beyond car sharing. Car sharing is SoCar's flagship service that allows a user to use as many vehicles as they want in ten-minute increments. According to the company, it has approximately 80% domestic market share in the car sharing space. As of May 2022, SoCar has over 8m subscribers and over 10m SoCar app downloads.

However, the firm remains loss making with no signs of being profitable in the near/medium term. Given its aggressive growth strategy, its high cash burn is likely to persist should SoCar aim to continue capturing market share and expand its brand presence. This cash burn will likely have to be funded by additional debt/equity.
