In terms of traction, you got 400 people in a quarter (and how many of those routinely get tickets?) vs. Fixed's waiting list of 25000 signups from more than a year ago.
- will_brown 12y agoEverything...Fixed is an App that facilitates the resolution of parking tickets fought by in-house staff (I think non-attorneys). Our software is for a driver who gets a traffic ticket and our software connects drivers with law firms licensed to fight the ticket and offer transparent pricing. The transparent/automated pricing is the basis for our pending patent and what differentiates our software. On the business side Fixed's 25k waiting list...none of them are paying customers, of those who are not on the waiting list and using the app, Fixed gets nothing when they challenge a ticket and lose (which appears to be 80% [1]), but when Fixed wins I think they get 25% of the original fine. I think more generally Fixed wants to offer "Justice as a Service" and start challenging all kinds of quasi-legal problems that do not require a licensed lawyer, which is a tremendous space and I look forward to seeing them grow. Of our 400 in the last 90 days, they are paying clients of our partner law firm, and the relationship is between the client and law firm, not us and the client.
