Introducing MotoAcquire to DealerRefresh. @jordancox and I spent some time to get to know Mike Crothers and his new company these past couple months, The tech review is 10 minutes long and covers everything. There were a few things I wanted to point out separately just here on DR.
- I respect how Mike focused on a singular problem (dealerships struggle to get trades) and found a way to innovate that wasn't just an evolution of status-quo + AI.
- They found new value in influencer marketing as a method for lead gen and have seen legit hockey-stick growth here
- They expanded how value tracking can be used over the life of vehicle ownership and did so in a non-salesy in your face way
- They built this lean and without raising any venture money
