Elevator Pitch
“BadCo is a CRM-native AI orchestration platform built for automotive retail. Today, dealerships miss up to 40% of inbound opportunities and struggle to convert demand across fragmented systems. We solve that by capturing 100% of customer interactions—voice, text, and chat—and using a network of AI agents to orchestrate real-time decisions across CRM, inventory, and lender systems. Our patent-pending ‘Deal Jacket’ turns conversations into structured deals with live payment options, enabling faster conversions without adding headcount. We’re not another AI tool—we’re the infrastructure layer connecting customer demand to dealership execution, driving measurable revenue per rooftop.”
