About Jerry.ai:
Jerry.ai is building the first financial platform for your car that helps people optimize the cost and experience of owning a car (making ownership easy amp; affordable). There are 240M cars in the US alone. For most people, cars are one of the most expensive assets they own and families on average spend 20% of their income on car expenses, making this a massive market.
We started with helping people optimize the cost of car insurance and our vision is to help people in every aspect of car ownership. Since our product launch, we have been growing really fast for the past 18 months and our users love the product (rating 4.5 in the app store). Jerry.ai is founded by serial entrepreneurs who previously built and scaled YourMechanic (Uber for car repair, the nation’s largest on-demand car repair company). We have raised over $50M+ in financing.
