EditKavak is a pioneering startup that is revolutionizing the pre-owned car industry. The company operates an online platform for buying and selling used cars, aiming to streamline the traditionally fragmented and inefficient market. Kavak serves customers who are looking to buy or sell a used car, offering a wide range of certified and guaranteed vehicles.
The company operates in the used car market, which is typically characterized by a lack of transparency and trust. Kavak addresses these issues by leveraging data and technology to formalize the industry, providing customers with a reliable and user-friendly platform. The company's business model is based on e-commerce, with transactions facilitated through its website and mobile app.
Kavak also operates physical stores in various locations around the world, providing customers with a hybrid shopping experience. In addition to selling cars, the company offers after-sales services and financing options, creating multiple revenue streams.
Founded in 2014, Kavak first opened its doors in Mexico City in 2016. The company has since expanded internationally, launching operations in Argentina, Turkey, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru. In 2020, Kavak became Mexico's first unicorn startup, reaching a valuation of $1 billion.
In 2021, the company built the largest reconditioning center in Latin America in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Kavak's mission is to eliminate the risks and fraud associated with used car transactions and to provide customers with access to financing opportunities.
