Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc. has raised $2.9B over 20 rounds; too few niche peers to rank its valuation yet.

Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the manufacturing sector profile.

Analyst read est. — computed against this company's niche peers in the same era. Inputs shown; not a quoted figure.

Program ended
  • Last raise 13.8 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 12 months.
  • For a recurring offering issuer, long silence usually means the offering program is inactive or ended; it is not proof the legal entity is defunct.

Procedural diagnosis est. — rule-based common-sense checks over the filing pattern, issuer name, activity cadence, and surfaced operating evidence.

Recurring offering issuerhigh confidence

Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc. behaves more like a recurring private-offering issuer than a conventional venture-backed operating company.

Issuer structure
Program-like
Frequent filings and follow-ons read more like a securities offering program than discrete startup rounds.
Lifecycle
16.2 yr record
Peak capital year was 2011 with $1.8B across 11 filings.
Market position
ahead of 100% of Manufacturing peers
Capital scale is ahead of 100% of Manufacturing peers; modeled value is above 97% of peers by modeled value. Large capital with mid-pack modeled value can signal an issuer/program profile rather than operating-company growth.
Valuation reliability
Lower applicability
Stage/dilution valuation models are weakest when the issuer is broad-sector, recurring, or vehicle-like.
Operating evidence
Sparse
No clear CEO/founder/principal role is surfaced, so operating-company confidence is lower.
Data quality
Consistent
Canonical totals and visible filing detail are broadly aligned.
What triggered this
  • 20 dated financing filings, averaging about 2 months apart.
  • Legal name looks like an issuer vehicle rather than a product company.
  • No clearly named CEO/founder/principal role in the public records surfaced here.
  • No verified homepage on the profile yet.
  • Capital program peaked in 2011: $1.8B across 11 filings.
  • Largest single filing was $410.7M on 2011-09-15.
How to read the page
  • Read this less like a startup funding journey and more like a capital-raising program.
  • Stage-based valuation and peer labels have lower applicability for this pattern.
  • The more important signal is lifecycle: repeated filings ended years ago, so current activity needs outside confirmation.

Financing ladder & sequence gaps

Modeled post-money

This issuer files recurring offerings, so the model treats stage labels as a loose sizing heuristic, not a clean VC ladder. The estimate anchors on reported filing amounts and dates, then applies benchmark dilution, survival, and markup assumptions. Directional, not a quoted figure.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 3257 companies in Manufacturing. Each bar is a median (the middle company, not an average — outliers don't skew it). Two yardsticks: real money raised (reported on Form D) and modeled value (our estimate est.). These are whole-sector medians across all stages, except the per-stage row.

Total raised — vs sector median (real $, all stages) 1417× above median
This company$2.9B
Sector median$2.0M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 101× above median
This company$1.2B
Sector median$12.0M

Raised more than 100% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 97% of peers (estimate).

Full financing history

This issuer files too frequently for VC stage labels to be meaningful, so rows are shown as initial/follow-on offerings est. instead of Pre-Seed/Seed/Series buckets.
