BERLIN (Reuters) – German air taxi startup Volocopter plans to raise fresh funds from investors, its Chief Executive Florian Reuter said on Thursday, adding that a deal to go public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) was one option.
Volocopter just this month tapped investors led by U.S. asset manager Blackrock for 200 million euros ($239 million) in backing as it seeks certification for its battery-powered flying taxi.
“We expect to need more money in the future,” Reuter said in an interview. “You can expect us to continue raising money going forward.”
