STOCKHOLM: Sweden’s VOI Technology, which operates e-scooter service in Europe, said on Tuesday it has raised $115 million from investors such as Raine Group and VNV Global, valuing the company at just over $1 billion.

The revenue of VOI, whose competitors include Germany’s Tier and American companies Lime and Bird, has grown by 140% this year but the company has yet to record an annual profit.

The company has no immediate plans to enter the United States to take on American rivals on their home turf, CFO Mathias Hermansson said in an interview. “It’s safe to say that we have plenty of investment opportunities in Western Europe.”

Since its founding in 2018, VOI has raised $430 million from investors including Inbox Capital, Nordic Ninja, Stena Sessan, Kreos Capital, Ilmarinen, Nineyards and ICT Capital.

“We will definitely start preparing so we have the option to go public,” Hermansson said, adding that the company does not have a concrete plan to go public yet.
