We're a team of industry veterans and innovators who've walked the showroom floor, negotiated deals, and know firsthand the pain points in automotive retail. Our platform connects dealers to a network of lenders, enabling car buyers to purchase and finance vehicles online while giving dealers the tools they need to sell smarter - whether that's on the website, in the showroom, or through OEM and marketplace partnerships. We process $4 billion in funded loans annually and work with 40+ of the nation's largest lenders. Our team spans across the U.S. and Canada, bringing deep experience from finance, technology, and the auto industry. We're focused on solving real problems: disconnected online-to-showroom experiences, chaotic sales processes, and the trust gap that still exists between customers and dealers. By unifying the customer-facing sales experience and providing guided workflows, we help dealers close more deals while maintaining control and profitability.

The trucking industry faces an existential crisis: over 80,000 driver shortages, rising accident rates, and pressure to reduce emissions in a sector that moves 72% of America's freight. Bot Auto exists to solve this at scale - building Level 4 autonomous trucks that don't just drive themselves, but do so safely, reliably, and profitably. Founded in August 2023 by Dr. Xiaodi Hou, a pioneer in autonomous trucking and former CEO of TuSimple, Bot Auto emerged from stealth mode with $20 million in Pre-A funding and a clear mandate: commercialize autonomous trucking through operational excellence rather than flashy demos. What sets Bot Auto is their TaaS (Transportation as a Service) model - owning and operating the fleet themselves rather than selling technology to trucking companies. This end-to-end control means they've completed Texas's first humanless hub-to-hub validation run in real traffic, with plans for driver-out commercial operations between Houston and San Antonio in 2025. Their AI-driven systems leverage LiDAR, radar, cameras, and real-time data processing with multiple redundancy layers, ensuring their trucks don't get distracted, don't drive impaired, and follow traffic rules consistently. Headquartered in Houston with a team of 76 seasoned engineers and industry veterans, Bot Auto transforms autonomous trucking from experimental technology into a commercially viable product that addresses real problems: driver shortages, constrained capacity, and the urgent need for sustainable logistics.
