Since founding, our ambitions have matched the huge market opportunities we see, but as a young company we stretched beyond our resources. We are now in the midst of a transformational pivot, with a singular focus on getting to profitability as soon as possible, and refocusing on our core micro-mobility opportunity. We are humbled but educated by the experience of the past year, and intend to build Helbiz into a growing, profitable leader in one of the most exciting sectors in mobility.”

Palella continued, “Even with the substantial progress we have made, our efforts are far from over. Soon we will unveil a major transformation that we believe will create an even stronger and more exciting company.

We started restructuring operations in mobility and kitchen. With the continued cost optimization of the mobility business, we are solidly on track to achieve profitability. To pursue our growth plan, we recently entered into equity lines of credit and have the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $70 million of shares of common stock.”
