Now, Mexico’s fastest-growing scooter-sharing startup has raised US$20M from a cohort of investors including Y Combinator, DCM Ventures, Trinity Ventures, and Shasta Ventures, after pitching at YC Demo Day on August 21st, 2018.

Grin has previously raised funding from Monashees, Sinai Ventures, Qasar Younis, Pi Campus, Liquid2 Ventures, Investo, Base10 Partners, Ariel Poler, and 500 Startups.
