@zduboss guessing Ford funded them to get into new alt vehicle ownership like GM has and made that part of the requirement to close the round. Think it's interesting but not sure what the target customer and use case/geography is vs like Zipcar. Is it just the convenience of the delivery?

@zduboss why not rent a car from a real car rental like sixt.com then? One more benefit: you usually get a very new car. What this is, is a used car rental company dressed up as a startup...

@josef_moser that's what I was thinking. However, even at crappy Sixt it's going to be more than $450/month and won't include insurance

@zduboss We wanted to launch with only a few models to simplify our operations, but we’ll add more over time.

@mwtbrowser @zduboss our target customer is one that doesn’t want to or can’t commit to a multi-year financing but wants a car 24/7. Using a Zipcar daily (or even just for the weekends) becomes prohibitively expensive. We see ourselves much more as a substitute for car ownership than a Zipcar/Getaround/etc.

@rickats @zduboss Yeah, just the Bay Area for now, but as we grow we'll look to add other markets.

@eddomann @josef_moser our product could definitely be used as a substitute for long-term rentals, but that’s not really what we’re going for. The product is month-to-month because we want to provide as much flexibility as possible and allow people to return the car when it no longer works for them (planned or unplanned).

@zduboss $500 a month to drive a Fusion? Nah.
