This $1.3 Billion makes a total of $2.85 Billion invested
Rivian just announced an additional $1.3 billion invested into their company today. This additional investment makes Rivian’s total investments orbit around 3 billion dollars – so far. Advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc and funds managed by BlackRock – investments also came in from Amazon and Ford Motor Company.
“This investment demonstrates confidence in our team, products,
technology and strategy – we are extremely excited to have the support
