On August 10, 2021, AI-based car ownership app Jerry announced the completion of a $75 million Series C funding round led by Goodwater Capital. The oversubscribed round values the company at $450 million. The financing was completed just seven months after Jerry's $28 million Series B round and brings total funding to $132 million. Existing backer Goodwater Capital led the oversubscribed funding round. Bow Capital, Kamerra, Highland Capital Partners, and Park West Asset Management also participated in the financing. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati represented Jerry in the transaction.
Jerry saves customer time and money on car expenses. The company first launched its artificial-intelligence- and machine-learning-optimized car insurance compare-and-buy service in 2019 and today serves more than 1 million customers as a licensed insurance broker in all 50 states. This new funding round fuels the launch of the app's marketplaces in vehicle financing, repair, warranties, parking, maintenance, and additional money-saving services.
The Wilson Sonsini team that represented Jerry in the transaction includes Yokum Taku, Jonathan Chan, Jordan Cruzzavala, Erik Nguyen, and paralegal Amna Khan.
