Vroom

New York, NY, United States Automotive Public

Vroom is an ecommerce and automotive finance company that was founded in August 2013 and went public in June 2020. Originally operating as an end-to-end used vehicle marketplace with online shopping, financing, and delivery, Vroom discontinued its ecommerce operations in January 2024 to preserve liquidity. The company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2025 with a restructured business model centered on two core operations: United Auto Credit Corporation (UACC), a non-prime and near-prime automotive lender with approximately 76,000 contracts and $950 million in receivables, and CarStory, an AI-powered automotive data and pricing analytics platform. Vroom went public via IPO on the Nasdaq under ticker VRM in June 2020 at $22 per share, briefly reaching significant valuations before facing operational and financial challenges leading to its bankruptcy filing in November 2024.
