90 New Investors Back Online Car Platform

LOS ALTOS, Calif.--()--Beepi, the leading peer-to-peer marketplace to seamlessly buy and sell cars online, today announced it has closed a funding round from the largest syndicate in AngelList history. 86 investors from the entertainment and financial communities have come together to invest $2.7 million in the largest deal ever done via crowd funding on AngelList.

In addition to this crowd sourced funding, four new prominent investors are now backing the company including Digital Sky Technologies co-founder Yuri Milner and SAB Capital Management CEO and founder Scott Bommer. The new investment this round totals $12.7 million.

"As a peer-to-peer marketplace, Beepi is all about connecting people. We wanted to do the same thing with our investor base,” said Beepi CEO and co-founder Ale Resnik. “AngelList is a fantastic platform to engage with individual investors. We’re excited to enable new people to share in our growth."

"We are excited to have supported Beepi's unprecedented raise through Gil Penchina's syndicate,” said Millie Tadewalt, AngelList Business Lead for Fundraising Products. “This is an excellent example of the AngelList platform enabling dozens of distributed angels to efficiently come together, invest in and support startups like Beepi."

This funding comes on the heels of the company’s $60 million Series B round from Foundation Capital and SherpaVentures.
