NEW YORK, December 15, 2025 — Octane® (Octane Lending, Inc.®), the fintech revolutionizing the buying experience, announced it has closed its Series F funding round of $100 million in equity capital. The raise includes new equity capital to be used for growth initiatives as well as amounts to be used for secondary share transfers.

The capital builds on Octane’s strong originations growth and enables the Company to further accelerate market penetration and deepen its product offering, positioning the Company even more favorably for long-term success. The Series F raise attracted a mix of returning and new investors; Valar Ventures led the round with participation from Upper90, Huntington Bank, Camping World and Good Sam, Holler-Classic, and others. Prior to the Series F, Octane had raised $242 million in total equity funding since inception, including its Series E, which closed in 2024. 

“Building on our strong foundation, this capital allows us to move more quickly on key initiatives that will further differentiate us in existing markets and speed up our entrance into new ones,” said Jason Guss, CEO and Co-Founder of Octane. “We’re grateful to our existing investors for their continued support and belief in our vision, as well as to new investors for their partnership. We look forward to strengthening these relationships as we expand our offerings and unlock the full potential of financial products for merchants and consumers.” 

“One of the investing lessons of the past two decades is that the best tech companies can compound for far longer than expected,” said James Fitzgerald, Founding Partner of Valar Ventures. “Octane’s unique offering supports dealers and OEMs with software and financing solutions unavailable elsewhere. We expect Octane to continue to take market share — both in its existing markets and in those it’s only begun to enter — for a very long time. We are excited to continue backing this team and to partner with them for another decade, or longer.”

“It’s been impressive to watch Octane’s execution in becoming a clear leader in the powersports market,” said Billy Libby, Managing Partner at Upper90. “Now the company is scaling its proprietary underwriting engine and end-to-end technology platform as it expands into new markets and helps dealers grow their profits and deliver better financing experiences to consumers. Few public or private companies are growing as rapidly — and profitably — as Octane, and we’re excited to be part of their continued growth.”

Thus far in 2025, Octane has launched a myriad of new products and technology enhancements, including groundbreaking updates for both merchants and consumers. Notably, Octane strengthened its industry-leading financing portal to provide even faster, easier customer acquisition and closing processes for merchants, helping them reach more buyers and increase profitability.

Octane Completes $219 Million Asset-Backed Securitization

Second AAA-Rated RV/Marine Securitization Reflects Strong Market Demand and Doubles Inaugural Issuance

NEW YORK, December 2, 2025 — Octane® (Octane Lending, Inc.®), the fintech revolutionizing the buying experience for major recreational purchases, announced that it has closed a $219 million securitization (“OCTL 2025-RVM1“) collateralized by its fixed-rate installment recreational vehicle and marine loans issued through its in-house lender, Roadrunner Financial®, Inc. 

This is Octane’s second transaction under its RV/Marine shelf, denoted with the “RVM” ticker. Its first, OCTL 2024-RVM1, was named as the ABS Deal of the Year at the GlobalCapital US Securitization Awards 2025. The 2024 transaction represented the first securitization composed solely of RV and marine collateral to be brought to market in two decades. Since launching its securitization program in December 2019, Octane has completed 16 asset-backed securitizations totaling over $4.7 billion.  

OCTL 2025-RVM1 consists of five classes of fixed-rate notes: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E, which Standard & Poor’s (S&P)* rated as AAA, AA, A, BBB, and BB+ respectively, in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. ATLAS SP Securities acted as lead manager and structuring agent, with J.P. Morgan Securities, Mizuho, and Truist Securities serving as joint bookrunners and First Citizens Capital Securities serving as co-manager. 

“The successful execution of our second RVM securitization reflects the growing maturity of our RVM platform and the market’s recognition of RV and marine as a compelling, high-quality asset class,” said Nicholas Makarov, SVP and Head of Capital Markets at Octane. “We’ve seen investor interest deepen meaningfully as we’ve broadened our presence in these segments, and we’re grateful for that continued support. As the program scales, the depth of demand across the capital structure reflects continued confidence in our performance, our underwriting, and our ability to grow responsibly.”

Octane has continued to build significant momentum in both its business and its Capital Markets program. The Company has more than doubled its RV originations each year since entering the market in 2022 and is on track to more than double RV originations again in 2025. Octane first began financing pontoons in 2022 and expanded its presence in the Marine market in 2024. Additionally, Octane has closed three powersports forward-flow transactions and two whole-loan sales in 2025 and has cumulatively sold or secured commitments to sell $3.3 billion in loans since December 2023.
