Gents —
Back in your inbox with another interesting investment opportunity from Litquidity Ventures. One of the reasons, among many, this opportunity is interesting, is because the Litquidity Team and syndicate members already invested in Harbinger Motors in June. The company is reopening that oversubscribed round to a select group of people at the same terms, which are outlined below.
Before we dive in, here’s something that I will remind you of every deal:
Most startups will fail
Only invest what you can afford to lose
And do your due diligence
We’ll be holding a roundtable to discuss this opportunity later this week. More details to follow. Let’s jump in.
QUICK BACKGROUND ON THIS ROUND
In June, Litquidity Ventures invested in Harbinger Motors’ $100M Series C round, led by Tiger Global. Harbinger is a leading American-made, medium-duty electric and hybrid vehicle manufacturer, with proprietary onshore advanced manufacturing of electric motors, batteries, and hybrid chassis.
(Sidenote: A chassis is the fundamental structural framework of a vehicle, acting as its "skeleton" to support all other components like the engine, suspension, body, and electronics, providing crucial stability, strength, and functionality).
The Litquidity team has spent significant time with management and has been impressed by the company’s tremendous growth and operational excellence. In October, they co-hosted LA Tech Week’s biggest hard tech event along with Harbinger and A16Z’s American Dynamism Fund.
The company is firing on all cylinders (or batteries, rather). Since Litquidity Venture’s first conversations, Harbinger’s sales have doubled each quarter in 2025, growing invoiced units +1,000% since Q1 (45 invoiced units in Q1 vs. 450 in Q4)*.
Last month, Harbinger announced its Series C oversubscribed at $160M. FedEx emerged as a co-leader and placed an initial order of 53 vehicles from the company. Other participants included Capricorn’s Technology Impact Fund, THOR Industries, Ridgeline, and The Coca-Cola System Sustainability Fund, managed by Greycroft.
To that end, Litquidity Ventures has secured additional investment allocation at the same pre-announcement terms. It is their view that the revenue growth and execution delivery puts Harbinger squarely in unicorn territory with a clear path to IPO as early as 2026. The proposed valuation represents a significant value opportunity at a discount to the projected value of the company.
COMPANY OVERVIEW

Harbinger Motors has established itself as the leading manufacturer of electric and hybrid medium-duty commercial vehicle chassis in the Class 4-7 truck market, including step vans, box trucks, and RVs. The company is also a domestic manufacturer of the most energy-dense battery packs in commercial vehicles, and a domestic manufacturer of the most energy-efficient electric motors in commercial vehicles.
The company is currently fulfilling initial deliveries from its U.S. factory to address over $450M in preorders and a $110M battery backlog.
Harbinger’s specialty is developing electric stripped chassis for walk-in vans, step vans, box trucks, and other commercial applications. What sets them apart is their fully proprietary technology stack – including in-house designed battery systems, electric drivetrains, and purpose-built EV and hybrid platforms – delivering superior performance at prices competitive with traditional combustion vehicles.
HARBINGER HIGHLIGHTS
Production at Scale with Proven Track Record
Blue-Chip Customer Base and Shareholder Base: THOR Industries (world's largest RV producer and buyer of stripped chassis), FedEx, Coca-Cola and 8 coke bottlers, Bimbo Bakeries (largest bakery company), and largest beer distributor and fast food distributor in country
Sales Momentum: 45 units ($5M) invoiced in Q1 on track for 450 units in Q4 on backdrop of $450M in chassis pre-orders and $110M in battery PO
Manufacturing Capacity: Currently producing at a run rate of 1,000 chassis annually, scaling to 4,000/year by Q4 2025
Validated Technology: 64 beta demo vehicles in the hands of major fleets (FedEx, Grupo Bimbo, Coca-Cola) with zero reported mechanical, thermal, battery, or motor issues
Ideal Market Conditions
Historic Market Gap: Ford is exiting the stripped chassis market, creating an immediate 15,000+ vehicle vacuum (60% of US production capacity)
Limited Competition: Only three manufacturers offer chassis for walk-in vans in the US, with Harbinger being the only one offering price-competitive electric options to diesel vehicles
Growing Demand: Recent Tiger Global survey confirms 36% of fleet managers plan to increase electric truck purchases, primarily driven by compelling operating cost savings
Elite Investor Backing: Current investors include blue-chip allocators and customers: Tiger Global, Capricorn, Ridgeline (Fedex), Leitmotif (VW), THOR Industries, Greycroft/Coca-Cola.
Technology and Cost Leadership
Vertical Integration: The only truck manufacturer in their class with fully in-house motors and battery technology manufactured in the USA isolates company from Tariffs vs. other OEMs
Price Parity Achievement: Offering electric options at price parity with ICE vehicles, while competitors charge 2-3x premiums for their electric alternatives
Superior TCO: The combination of competitive upfront pricing and dramatically lower operating costs creates $10k annual cost saving
Low Cost Charging Infrastructure: Level 2 overnight chargers cost $1k in hardware and $3-7k in install
