Getaround的“汽车版Airbnb”豪赌：2025年退出美国市场，2026年解散

做的是什么生意

Peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace where car owners rent their cars, trucks and SUVs to other drivers, run on Getaround's own software.

启动资金：Raised more than $750M, including a $300M 2018 round led by SoftBank Vision Fund, with investors including Menlo Ventures and Reinvent Capital; went public in 2022 via a SPAC merger.

起因

Getaround was founded in San Francisco in 2009 and became a TechCrunch Startup Battlefield finalist in 2011; it grew into a VC darling that raised more than $750M, including a $300M round led by SoftBank Vision Fund in 2018.

经过

With that capital it expanded across US cities and into Europe, buying Drivy for $300M and Nabobil in 2019. Getaround went public in 2022 through a SPAC merger but received an NYSE delisting warning within months; it cut 30% of its North American workforce in a 2023 restructuring, laid off staff again in 2024, and bought HyreCar for $9.45M in 2023.

结果

On Feb 7, 2025 the board approved an 'orderly wind-down' of Getaround's US car-share and HyreCar businesses and a reduction in force of substantially all US employees, with most separating Feb 14, 2025 and $1.5–2.0M of expected charges; customers were told to return rentals within days over insurance-coverage risk. Getaround sold its European business to Denmark's GoMore (closing Apr 30, 2026), and stockholders approved full dissolution on July 29, 2026.

可借鉴之处

一个承载保险和车队级成本的市场依赖廉价资本；当融资线关闭时，重组无法挽救单位经济，结局是有序关闭。
