Major backers of the electric vehicle startup Slate Auto include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, TWG Global (led by Los Angeles Dodgers owner and Guggenheim Partners executive Mark Walter), and the venture capital firm General Catalyst.These heavy-hitting investors have helped the Michigan-based automaker raise roughly $1.4 billion across multiple funding rounds to develop their affordable, analog EV trucks.
