Roadsurfer has secured €30 million in a current funding round. Avellinia Capital (AvCap) is participating as an investor in the Munich-based company. According to the company, the funding from the London-based investment firm covers all fleet investments planned for 2025 by the camper startup and thus secures further expansion of the fleet in existing markets in Europe and North America. With this investment, the Munich-based company plans to expand its fleet from 8,500 to around 10,000 vehicles without using additional growth capital.
