AUSTIN, Texas, March 1, 2021 -- Rollick Inc., which operates the GoRollick Powersports, RV, and Boat Buying Program Marketplace, has closed $8.5M in funding. The new investment comes from strategic investors Sandbox Insurtech Ventures and TechNexus Venture Collaborative, as well as Dallas Venture Capital, Congress Avenue Ventures, and London Technology Club. LiveOak Venture Partners, Silverton Partners, Autotech Ventures, ManchesterStory, Anthem Venture Partners, and Capital Factory continued their support in this round of financing.
While the pandemic has created some uncertainty in the world, it has also created a selling opportunity for OEMs and dealers selling outdoor recreational vehicles and boats. As we enter the summer months, we are seeing a shift from summer vacations and travel expenditures to more investment in local, outdoor lifestyle activities where social distancing can be easily monitored.
Rollick wanted to directly engage military members and honor their service, so it created a way for dealers to offer an exclusive discount to active duty soldiers and veterans. To protect the offers and streamline the purchase process, Rollick used SheerID to verify shoppers’ military status. The program paid off, with a 2x year-over-year increase in military leads and a 130% increase in military verifications.
