Inveready invests more than 5 million euros in Drenting to lead the leasing market

Inveready has led an investment round of more than €5 million in Drenting, a company specialising in second-hand vehicle leasing aimed at individuals, the self-employed and small businesses.
The objective of this operation is to promote the growth and development of a mobility solution aligned with the needs of the market: competitive price, immediate delivery and a catalogue with a maximum variety of models.

Drenting, a company of the Drive Me Group - a holding company with more than 10 years of experience in the automotive sector - was created in response to the limitations of traditional leasing, focused on new vehicles with limited availability and long delivery times. Its model, based on existing fleets, allows it to offer a more agile, economical solution with immediate delivery, giving access to a wide variety of vehicles without sacrificing efficiency or flexibility.

‘The penetration of leasing in Spain continues to grow, but the market was asking for a more accessible and flexible alternative. Drenting opens a very clear door to second-hand leasing with a solid and differential proposal, both in terms of variety and immediacy’, says Inveready's investment team.

David Jané, CEO of Drenting, said: ‘This investment round represents a turning point in Drenting's growth. We validate the model, strengthen our technology and add key talent to consolidate a new standard in access to second-hand leasing. This is a great opportunity to scale what we have already proven to work.

As part of the operation, Jaume Betrian, co-founder of Ofertia and PLESH, and Julio Ribes, former CEO of Swipcar and advisor to technology startups, have joined the project and will contribute their experience in digital strategy, go-to-market and commercial scaling.

With this investment, Inveready is committed to a highly scalable and profitable model, designed to respond to the needs of both end users (B2C) and companies looking to renew their fleet with reliable, quality second-hand leasing (B2B). Drenting will drive the technological development of the platform, boost demand acquisition through digital campaigns, and expand its network of strategic partners. In this sense, physical dealers will play a key role as a distribution channel, in a win-win model: they incorporate a new line of business without assuming operational risks, and Drenting takes care of the entire process.
