I’m building AristoCarWare — a flexible car subscription platform turning idle dealership inventory into recurring revenue.

We’re addressing America’s $1.6T car loan debt crisis by removing banks and long-term financing from the equation. Instead of owning or leasing, users can subscribe — drive any car, swap when they hit a mileage cap, and never worry about negative equity.

Over the past month: • I spoke with Sequoia Capital about our vision to modernize how people access cars. Their feedback reinforced that the timing for a fleet-light model partnering with dealerships is right now. • We’ve connected with 40 dealerships, including regional groups in the Bay Area, and refined our MVP around dealer-managed subscriptions.

     I used Turo to validate demand and noticed renters prefer long-term access — one booking has lasted over 150 days (since June), effectively behaving like a subscription. It’s clear people want flexibility without ownership.

 • Our waitlist is live: aristocarware.com
The next step is building our first dealership partnership and scaling the early adopter base.

If you believe the future of mobility is access over ownership, join the waitlist — or share feedback on how we can make subscriptions the smarter alternative to financing.
