The Opportunity

Problem

Bootstrapped remote workers building EV apps struggle to secure partnerships with automotive dealerships without in-person networking.

Solution

DealVirtuoso runs scheduled virtual speed-networking events where groups of 10 founders pitch to 20 dealerships in 5-min slots. It handles matchmaking, Zoom rooms, and follow-up intros. Bootstrappers get exposure to multiple dealerships in one hour, remotely.

Target Audience

Bootstrapped solo founders remotely developing EV or mobility apps needing B2B partnerships with physical dealerships
