An email showed up in my inbox today, titled "Exciting News From Saleen" which could mean almost anything when it comes to Steve and the gang, would it be news on Saleen China? Could it be a new car? Would it be another exciting investment opportunity? The road for Saleen has been pretty rocky over the years, but the S1 was getting some attention and it was a real car, I even saw it testing out at Circuit of the Americas a few years back.
The email was a pitch for investment, back in 2022 I got an email asking for a $500 investment, this time Saleen is using Start Engine, a crowdfunding investment platform. This seems to be a fresh round of ground-up investing to keep the lights on and build cars, but there isn't much information in the email (below), the video, or the investment page on Start Engine. Currently, you can reserve your chance to invest in Saleen, but be sure to do your own research before signing up to invest in Saleen.
Check out the text of the email and video below:
Dear Friends and Fans,It’s been over three years since the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way that we live, work, and play. This had significant effects on everyone around the world, including Saleen Automotive when crippling issues with supply chain slowed our growth.
The great news is, we've made huge strides since the depths of the pandemic. This includes growth in sales, a promising public fundraise in 2022, and the relaunch of our Saleen Original Series and the S1 street car.
In order to make the S1 a reality, we are going back to our most loyal and fervent fans with the chance to share in our success and become an investor.
We are scheduled to launch in the immediate future, but we wanted to give you, our community, this special opportunity to reserve your spot before we open it up to the general public.
If you reserve an investment, you’ll receive exclusive access before anyone else and a discount only available to you, the Saleen community.
We’ve partnered with StartEngine, one of the world’s leading investing platforms to bring this investment opportunity to the public. Please click here to learn more about this investment opportunity.
Thank you again for your continued support and confidence in Saleen Automotive.
