The Story

Levi Fawcett grew up fixing cars and was constantly frustrated by how hard it was to find the right parts, a massive problem due to the complexity of parts. Years later, while working as an engineer at Rocket Lab, he realised the advanced AI techniques he was using in aerospace could finally solve this problem in the automotive world – creating the infrastructure connecting the parts supply chain and unlocking automation for everyone.
