Exclusive: Eclipse backs all-EV marketplace Ever in $31M funding round | TechCrunch
"These bolt-on AI tools are band-aids,"
"Auto retail is a perfect candidate for disrupting with AI, you know? It's a lot of process, lot of labor, [very] rules-based,"
""hundreds or thousands of different actions""
"There's massive complexities or frictions on both sides."
Ever operates an AI-native, full-stack digital auto retail platform focused on used electric vehicles and already serves thousands of buyers and sellers. The company raised $31 million in Series A funding led by Eclipse, with participation from Ibex Investors, Lifeline Ventures, and JIMCO. Investors contrast Ever's ground-up AI approach with superficial, bolt-on AI tools and emphasize automating rule-based, labor-intensive retail processes. Ever's leadership notes that typical car transactions trigger hundreds or thousands of actions, creating significant complexity and friction, motivating a digital-first platform launched after research begun in 2022 to simplify those workflows.
