Financial advisor for a leading EV company to raise capital

WISER faciliated a private placement for a leading Chinese EV company

Client Background

A rising Chinese EV company spun off from a top-tier automotive group. In 2021, it achieved sales of 120,000 EVs, ranking #1 in China in its segment. The company dominates the South China market with a strong position in the sub-RMB 200,000 price level. Its main manufacturing facility and R&D center are based in Guangzhou.

The Challenge

The company was in its A-round financing stage and needed to raise significant capital to expand manufacturing capacity and accelerate product development. As a fast-growing "super unicorn" candidate preparing for a domestic IPO, it required investors who could bring not just capital, but also strategic value — industry connections, technology partnerships, and credibility for the upcoming listing process.

Our Role

We act as the financial advisor for the main investor, which is a state-owned fund actively in the EV market. We are engaged from the deal introduction, due dilligence, terms negotiation, to the transaction closing.

Our Approach

WISER facilitated a private placement as financial advisor. Leveraging its network of Chinese institutional and strategic investors, WISER identified and introduced investors with relevant automotive and EV industry expertise. WISER also advised on deal structuring to align with the company's pre-IPO positioning.

Results

- The company raised over RMB 2.6 billion in its A-round financing
- Capital deployed for manufacturing capacity expansion and product development
- The company strengthened its position as a potential "super unicorn" ahead of its planned IPO
