Why Invest in Motobyo?
Why Invest in Motobyo?
Simply put: Motobyo is the most powerful private party automotive marketplace ever created. Read on to learn what makes us the most compelling investment opportunity in the industry.
Investment Highlights
A Massive Market
One in three American households perform a used vehicle transaction every year, resulting in the sale of roughly 40 million used vehicles annually in a $1.6T market.
A Compelling Business Model
Relying on an asset-free model and partnering with national auto brands to provide key services, Motobyo has a highly leverageable business model that is designed for rapid expansion.
A Disruptive Value Proposition
Eliminating the inefficiencies of an antiquated industry, Motobyo has developed a platform empowering sellers to maximize their value while saving buyers money.
Meaningful Traction
Significant operating traction achieved through our beta launch, sourcing more than 11,000 leads and generating 1,400 account sign-ups across 45 states during market test.
Investment Thesis
Motobyo has created the most compelling used car private party marketplace in the automotive industry. We are not a dealer. We do not buy and sell cars and we don’t take ownership. We help individuals sell and buy their cars. We are doing what no one else has done. Doing what no one else is positioned to do.

The Market
The impact of the pandemic across the auto ecosystem is well documented: supply chain issues, inventory shortages, limited access, inflated prices. Like most prior market downturns for the auto industry the two over-arching questions were:
How long will it last?
What are the long-term implications?
The answer to the first question was 2 years as new car inventory is now on the rise and those temporary bloated prices, particularly for used cars, are dropping back to the norm.
But the pandemic did accelerate trends that were on the horizon. It put manufacturers in a position to introduce a “build to order” sales model as well as establishing greater influence through their OEM leverage. It’s no wonder that dealer consolidation and potential regulatory pressures are trending up.
But another significant outcome through this ordeal was the proliferation of the new online, high-touch servicing model. Purchasing cars online without a test drive. Door to door vehicle delivery. Buying auto service solutions such as mechanical protection online as part of the overall transacting process. The consumer’s expectations have changed. And while dealers are desperate to hold on to the notion that the only online experience that can work is through a joint online / physical location solution, Pandora’s box has been opened. The online Genie is not going back in a bottle.

About Motobyo
Motobyo is a used car private party marketplace connecting sellers and buyers. The company was founded by auto experts with more than 50+ years of retail experience. Powered by our patent-pending pricing solution we are fundamentally a tech company. But make no mistake, we are auto professionals well-versed in the art and science of buying and selling vehicles.
There is no other value proposition like Motobyo in the market. We don’t buy and sell cars. We help people buy and sell cars. Our mission is simple. Assist sellers in getting a fair value for their vehicle, while providing buyers with an attractive selection of vehicles to chose from as well as providing them the necessary services typically only found at the dealership level to complete their purchase. And through our guaranteed 10-day cash offer as well as our week-long auction process, we enable consumers to complete their transactions more efficiently than any provider in the industry.
The business model is even more compelling. Our asset-free operating model means we do not have the capital requirements of a dealer, nor do we have the pricing and interest rate risks associated with vehicle ownership. Also, we have partnered with a curated group of world-class auto companies to provide a select number of our services, leveraging their expertise as well as their expansive market coverage. Not only does this provide Motobyo with a significant amount of operating leverage, but it also allows us to rapidly move into new auto markets accelerating our growth.
There are other online car companies. But no one has the technical competencies or the industry experience we have. And not one of these companies has the consumer’s success as their primary objective. That is why Motobyo is different. That is why we will succeed
