Zero emissions activist and investor Eytan Lenko has made the first investment from his new philanthropic venture, Boundless, committing $10 million to second-hand electric vehicles (EVs) importer, The Good Car Company.
Canva co-founder Cameron Adams and his wife Lisa Miller also tipped in an additional investment into the Tasmanian-based EV importer.
Melbourne-based Boundless, which is also backed and chaired by Atlassian founder Mike Cannon-Brookes, is focused on investing in Australian climate-focused startup to grow at scale and speed.
The Good Car Company imports pre-owned and new EVs from the UK and Japan. Co-founder Anthony Brose van Groenou said the investment will see the business ramp up its imports tenfold, from around 200 to 2,000, a year.
