May Mobility is merging with a SPAC at a $1.4 billion valuation, potentially raising over $300 million. It will become the first US public company solely focused on autonomous ride-hailing, differentiating itself with an asset-light, partnership-first model. The company has completed over 550,000 paid rides but reported $10 million in revenue against $93 million in cash burn last year.
Background
The autonomous vehicle sector has seen several public listings via SPACs in recent years, but most publicly traded companies in this space also have broader businesses (e.g., Tesla, Rivian). A pure-play robotaxi IPO would be a notable market test for investor appetite in the sector.
