Ever Emerges From Stealth With $31 Million Series A

Gunderson Dettmer represented Ever, the company building the first AI-native, full-stack auto retail platform, in its emergence from stealth mode and concurrent $31 million Series A financing. The oversubscribed round was led by Eclipse with participation from Lifeline Ventures, Ibex Investors, Maki VC, Joint Effects, and JIMCO. Ever’s total funding now stands at approximately $100 million across equity and debt facilities.

Ever is redefining auto retail – the largest segment of the U.S. retail economy – by replacing the fragmented legacy systems with a proprietary, AI-native operating system and vertically integrated operations. The new funding will be used to scale Ever’s engineering team, expand operational capabilities, and accelerate nationwide growth.

“Closing this round is a major milestone for Ever,” said Ever co-founder and CEO Lasse Mathias Nyberg. “Ibrahim Elshamy, Matt Fagan, and the Gunderson Dettmer team have been trusted partners since our earliest days, helping us navigate every critical moment. We're deeply grateful for their support and excited for what's ahead.”

The Gunderson deal team was led by Ibrahim Elshamy and Matt Fagan.
