The round was co-led by Costanoa Ventures and DVx Ventures, with participation from Westlake Financial, one of the largest financial institutions for automotive loans.
Led by Constantine Yaremtso, founder and CEO, Self Inspection provides standardized condition reports in minutes with increased real-time accuracy. The platform quickly creates a detailed report of the entire vehicle, including exterior, interior, tires and mechanical components, with 99% accuracy based on advances in computer vision and AI models.
