Entrepreneur in Residence, Cardino

Its newly launched online platform tailored for the EV market promises to revolutionise the way people buy and sell electric cars. The platform offers EV owners a digital experience that starts with instant vehicle valuation based on advanced market analytics. Users can then conduct a thorough digital inspection of their vehicles. The company's swift transaction process - taking just 5 days compared to the industry average of 27 - sets it apart and ensures above-market offers for sellers. Additionally, Cardino provides its services free of charge from start to finish, making it a game-changer in the EV secondary market.

Since its inception in late 2022, Cardino has quickly gained traction, boasting a community of over 1,000 EV sellers and 100+ dealers. In August alone, the company managed nearly €4M in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), demonstrating a remarkable monthly growth rate exceeding 50%. With the recent closure of a successful pre-seed funding round and strong investor support, Cardino is poised to drive the future of EV transactions, simplifying the process and contributing to a greener and more sustainable transportation ecosystem.
