The company, which was backed by General Motors, went through a special purpose acquisition (SPAC) merger in 2021. The merger raised $330M for Wejo including $230M from the SPAC company Virtuoso and the other $125M from private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing.

Wejo called in administrators at the end of May 2023, following a loss of investment capital.
