Vroom, a NYC-based online pre-owned car retailer, completed a $50m Series E funding.
Backers included new investors Altimeter Capital and Foxhaven Asset Management, which joined previous investors L Catterton, General Catalyst Partners, Allen & Company, and funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.
The company, which has raised $218m in total funding since inception, intends to use the funds to expand operations.
Led by CEO Paul J. Hennessy, Vroom provides an online pre-owned car buying, financing and selling platform used by customers nationwide.
