IZIrepair, startup of the Braga Startup community, was selected for the North American acceleration program SENTE Foundry - Mobility.

Sponsored by the group AVIS Budget and Yildiz Holding, owner of Godiva, the North American acceleration program, dedicated to mobility projects, will guarantee an investment of up to 75 thousand dollars in the project born in Lisbon and accelerated, for the first time, by Startup Braga.

In addition to the monetary investment, the acceleration program will also allow the startup, led by Vítor Soares, to make a roadshow through Chicago, New York and Detroit in December this year.

For the startup co-founder, this acceleration program is seen as "a fantastic opportunity to explore new markets (the United States being the priority) and to reach corporate players in the mobility sector".

At the same time, IZIrepair now has a new service in the pre-launch phase aimed at the national market only. "We are launching a new B2C platform, but at the same time we want to explore the possibilities of proof of concept for companies that manage large fleets or existing corporate channels that already have a direct interface with the mass market (namely, with car owners)", says Vitor Soares.

In this new platform, the car owner can subscribe a plan with regular maintenance, mobility options for when the car goes to the workshop, support line and also reminders and alerts related to the vehicle needs.
