I’m building a new way to access cars without the long-term debt, hidden fees, or the mental load that comes with traditional ownership. Over the past few months, I’ve been talking directly with dealerships and something became very clear: thousands of cars sit on lots for 100+ days, losing value every single week. At the same time, drivers are drowning in a $1.6 trillion auto-loan crisis — negative equity, massive interest payments, and a system that feels designed to trap people instead of helping them. So I’m building a platform that turns idle dealership inventory into flexible subscriptions. No banks. No 6-year loans. No “gotcha” fees. Drivers get transparent pricing and the option to switch cars after a certain mileage. Dealerships get recurring revenue on vehicles that would otherwise continue depreciating. This week: • Spoke with 7 dealerships — all referred me to GMs or regional VPs • Early users on the landing page and inbound requests from social • Refining the MVP to help people compare car options and understand costs in a simple, transparent way • Started building a demo to show how fast and clear the subscription flow can be Long-term vision: make mobility feel like a subscription — not a burden. Cars shouldn’t financially punish people for needing to get to work. If anyone has experience with marketplaces, subscriptions, or dealership partnerships, I’d love your feedback and ideas as I continue building.
