Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN)
Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is a purpose-built vehicle sourcing platform that enables car dealerships to acquire high-margin, fast-turning used vehicles directly from private sellers—bypassing auctions, reducing acquisition costs, and accelerating inventory turn.
Today’s automotive market is more competitive than ever. Wholesale prices are climbing, auction fees are rising, and reconditioning delays eat into profitability. VAN solves this by giving dealers the tools and talent they need to target, engage, and acquire for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) vehicles in their local market with speed and efficiency.
With VAN, dealers can:
Access thousands of local private-party listings in real time
Use AI-powered filters to find the most profitable cars
Automate personalized outreach and follow-up with sellers
Track communications, tasks, and acquisition progress in one unified CRM
Eliminate auction fees, transport delays, and wholesale surprises
For stores that lack time or staff to do this work in-house, VAN also offers a Managed Buyer program—a turnkey service where VAN’s expert acquisition team works on your behalf to find, contact, and negotiate with private sellers. It’s like hiring a full-time buyer without the overhead.
Whether you're a single rooftop looking for more control or a large group scaling a private-party acquisition strategy, VAN adapts to your dealership's workflow and goals. Dealers using VAN regularly see faster turn times, higher front-end grosses, and more predictable inventory pipelines.
Trusted by over 250 rooftops across the U.S. and Canada, VAN is how modern dealers compete with Carvana, CarMax, and other direct-to-consumer disruptors—by sourcing smarter, not just spending more.

Rarible
Introducing a creator-focused NFT marketplace that features a program for community governance, marking it as the first marketplace entirely owned by its users. This platform allows individuals to create, trade, and collect digital assets secured through blockchain technology. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, encompass unique digital items such as art pieces, collectibles, and game assets, particularly those that conform to the ERC-721 smart contract standard on Ethereum's blockchain. By tokenizing their creations, artists can ensure the uniqueness of their work and establish their personal brand identity. Ownership management through blockchain technology guarantees actual possession of these digital items. RARI, the marketplace's native governance token, has been established to reward active users and provide them with a say in the platform's future direction. As we continue to expand our market outreach and user base, we have decided to transition into a fully decentralized autonomous organization. The introduction of RARI serves to empower the Rarible community, enabling them to shape decisions and foster greater engagement within the platform. This commitment to decentralization not only enhances user involvement but also aligns with the evolving landscape of digital ownership.
