While running a previous car parts aggregator business, Andrew found there was a problem with many customers not trusting their mechanics. After further investigation and a chat with his mechanic brother he realised there was just no easy way to book a trusted mechanic. He then decided to study a research masters in Manchester where he devoted himself to understanding these problems better. After writing an 85,000 word thesis on the space he moved to London to join accelerator EF where he met Felix who had identified these same problems. The pair decided to then team up and develop ClickMechanic with the goal of building the easiest and most transparent way for car owners to book trusted mechanics.

Our Vision: “Making premium education affordable”The level of personalized attention required during the formative years is lacking in most schools, except for a few premium ones. Moreover, most parents, especially working professionals, often find it difficult to find time to compliment their kids learning in school. A rather serious implication of this is that children whose development lag behind during their early years find it very difficult to catch up in their higher classes. Through Toffee Ride, we attempt to bridge this gap using technology as an enabler to provide the much-needed personal attention in early learning.
