Flai is building the leading AI-native communications platform for car dealerships. A $1.3 trillion industry, auto dealerships sell 96% of the 16 million new cars sold each year. Yet they universally run on outdated systems and manual processes, which is why dealerships spend $36B each year on operations. That's our opportunity. We launched our first voice AI product a year ago. Since then, we have deployed multiple products across hundreds of dealerships across the U.S. We've partnered with the 2nd largest automaker in the country and many of the leading dealership groups. We've raised funding from leading VCs including First Round Capital, Toyota Ventures, Y Combinator, Innovation Endeavors, SV Angel, and Liquid 2. We've grown insanely quickly with a small, scrappy team and continue to move at that pace. The Opportunity Our customers love the product, and that opens up a huge opportunity to grow with them. You'll own expansion across our existing customers, helping them get even more out of Flai. There's a lot of upside sitting in our current base, and we need someone to go get it.
