| CarSwitch is a UAE-based online marketplace and car-buying platform that helps people buy and sell used cars directly from private owners with added inspection and transaction support. The platform was launched in 2016 and focuses on making used-car transactions more transparent, safe, and convenient. The platform connects buyers with verifiedsellers and provides services such as vehicle inspection, price valuation, financing assistance, warranty options, and secure payment processing. Each listed vehicle typically undergoes a comprehensive inspection (around 200 points), and the results are shared online so buyers can check the car’s condition before arranging a test drive. | $1M / Seed / Mar 06, 2018 |
