Bidbus Raises $3.3 Million to Reinvent Pre-Owned Car Sales Process with First True Consumer-to-Dealer Marketplace

比德布斯筹集了330万美元,通过首个真正的消费者对经销商市场重塑二手车销售流程。

AI-Powered Platform Connects Ordinary Car Owners with Multiple Dealer Offers for the Best Price—Without Leaving Home

人工智能驱动的平台连接普通车主与多个经销商报价,以获得最佳价格——无需离开家门

LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 15, 2025-- Bidbus, the first true consumer-to-dealer pre-owned car marketplace in the United States, announces it has raised $3.3 million in seed funding, led by $3M from Mucker Capital. With the new funding, the company plans to build out additional AI capabilities and expand to new markets..

洛杉矶,加利福尼亚州,2025年7月15日——美国首个真正的消费者对经销商二手车市场平台Bidbus宣布已完成330万美元的种子轮融资,其中Mucker Capital领投300万美元。利用这笔新资金,该公司计划进一步开发人工智能功能并拓展新市场。

While other platforms offer pieces of the used car sales puzzle, Bidbus is the only AI-native business that owns the entire workflow-from pre-auction sales processes to post-auction deliveries. Founded by former auto dealers, brokers and wholesalers in 2022, Bidbus provides dealers with a previously hard-to-get fresh supply of high-quality used cars sourced directly from consumers.

虽然其他平台提供了二手车销售难题的部分解决方案,但Bidbus是唯一一家拥有整个工作流程的原生AI企业——从拍卖前的销售流程到拍卖后的交付。Bidbus由前汽车经销商、经纪人和批发商于2022年创立,为经销商提供以前难以获取的直接来自消费者的高质量二手车的新供应。

Sellers, in turn, now can access competing offers for their used vehicles without ever setting foot on a lot..

卖家现在也可以在不踏入任何场地的情况下获取对其二手车的竞价。

'We're bringing transparent, competitive dealer bids to consumers so they can sell at the best price, all from the comfort of home,' said Ellson Chen, Bidbus co-founder and COO. 'Many consumers hate selling their cars to dealerships because they associate it with being lowballed and haggled. By using Bidbus, regular people get multiple dealer bids, often beating trade-in, Carvana or CarMax prices.

“我们为消费者带来透明且具有竞争力的经销商竞价,让他们能够以最好的价格出售车辆,而且足不出户就能完成,”Bidbus联合创始人兼首席运营官陈尔森表示。“许多消费者讨厌将车卖给经销商,因为他们认为这与被压价和讨价还价挂钩。通过使用Bidbus,普通人可以获得多个经销商的报价,通常还能超过置换价、Carvana或CarMax的价格。”

We estimate that to date, our sellers have earned a collective $3 million more from selling via Bidbus instead of through other channels.'.

我们估计,迄今为止,我们的卖家通过Bidbus销售而不是其他渠道,总共多赚了300万美元。

Bidbus investor Joe Tsai, Head of Early Fund at Mucker Capital said: 'Bidbus and its team understands the modern consumer and the new generation of dealers better than anyone else in the space. Their technology has the potential to level the playing field-for sellers to get the compensation they deserve, and for smaller dealerships to have a chance to compete with larger companies for the most sought after and hard-to-access inventory.

米克资本早期基金主管、Bidbus投资人蔡崇信表示:“Bidbus及其团队比业内其他任何人更了解现代消费者和新一代经销商。他们的技术有潜力为卖家带来公平的竞争环境,让他们获得应有的报酬,也让小型经销商有机会与大公司竞争最受欢迎且最难获取的库存。”

This company is using AI to profoundly change how the industry operates today, and we're excited to be a part of it.'.

这家公司正在利用人工智能深刻改变当今行业的运作方式,我们很高兴能成为其中的一员。

With tariffs, an automotive chip shortage, and the general slowing of sales during COVID years putting pressure on supply, dealers are desperate for these higher-quality consumer-owned cars as opposed to used cars from leases, repossessions and rental fleets. These preferred vehicles typically have lower mileage, better maintenance and also reflect the buying preferences of the geographic area..

由于关税、汽车芯片短缺以及疫情期间销售普遍放缓对供应造成压力,经销商迫切需要这些高质量的消费者自有车辆,而不是来自租赁、收回和租车车队的二手车。这些备受欢迎的车辆通常里程数较低、维护得更好,同时也反映了该地区的购买偏好。

However, buying from individual owners is a fragmented and intensive process for dealers. Each seller requires individual attention.

然而,对经销商而言,从个人车主手中购买汽车是一个碎片化且耗费精力的过程。每位卖家都需要单独的关注。

The Bidbus process is easy and transparent, with AI consolidating and streamlining the information collection. Sellers get a free quote after sharing a few details about their vehicle. An AI assistant then guides sellers through the listing process. Before officially entering the auction, sellers determine their minimum ‘reserve price.' If bidding doesn't reach that price, sellers aren't obligated to sell the car..

Bidbus流程简单透明,人工智能整合并简化了信息收集。卖家在分享了关于他们车辆的一些细节后,会得到一个免费的报价。然后,一个人工智能助手会引导卖家完成列表过程。在正式进入拍卖之前,卖家确定他们的最低“保留价格”。如果竞价没有达到这个价格,卖家没有义务出售汽车。

The company estimates that their AI-driven process saved an estimated half a million dollars in sourcing costs for dealers last year.

该公司估计,他们的人工智能驱动流程去年为经销商节省了大约 50 万美元的采购成本。

'Traditional auctions might have thousands of cars, from rental companies and leases, but only a handful are worth buying,' said Kraig Coomber, dealership owner and Bidbus CFO and co-founder. 'Our team built Bidbus after years of experiencing the frustration of sourcing inventory as dealers. We built a platform where quality comes standard and where every car is worth a bid.'.

“传统拍卖可能有成千上万辆车,来自租车公司和租赁公司,但只有少数值得购买,”经销商老板、Bidbus首席财务官兼联合创始人克雷格·库姆伯表示。“我们的团队在作为经销商寻找库存多年后感到沮丧,因此建立了Bidbus。我们打造了一个质量标准化、每辆车都值得竞标的平台。”

'Today our inventory sells two to three times faster than average at dealer auctions, and that is a good sign,' Coomber added.

“如今,我们的库存销售速度在经销商拍卖会上比平均速度快两到三倍,这是一个好兆头,”库姆伯补充道。

Bidbus currently services dealerships and sellers in California, with a focus on Southern California. The company plans to expand to dealerships in the San Francisco Bay Area in the near future.

Bidbus 目前为加利福尼亚州的经销商和卖家提供服务,重点在南加州。公司计划在不久的将来扩展到旧金山湾区的经销商。
