The Problem
SupercarIQ

EXOTIC CAR RESEARCH STILL
MEANS A DOZEN BROWSER TABS

Forums. VIN decoders. Auction archives. Builder registries. Instagram DMs. None of it connects.

Forums & DMs

Scattered opinions with no way to verify them. The signal is buried in noise. No provenance, no data, no accountability.

VIN Decoders

Build sheet only — no market context, no value, no rarity score. A starting point, not an answer.

Auction Archives

Real comps exist, but locked behind manual digging across BaT, Mecum, RM Sotheby's, Gooding, and Cars & Bids separately.

Builder Registries

Specialist history — RWB, Singer, Liberty Walk — that nobody aggregates in one place. The provenance that drives premiums, invisible.

NO SINGLE SOURCE TURNS A PHOTO INTO A COMPLETE, TRUSTWORTHY ANSWER.

The global vehicle history report market alone is valued at $2.8B — just for the piece that answers "what happened to this car." SupercarIQ answers that and "what is it worth, and who built it."

How It Works
SupercarIQ

TYPE IT. SNAP IT. SCAN IT. SAY IT.

Every path leads to one full IQ Report — identification, valuation, provenance, and comps in seconds.

01
Photo Scan
AI cross-check (Google Vision + Claude) — make, model, trim, year. Point and snap. No text entry required.
02
VIN Scan
OCR decode of door jamb, windshield sticker, or barcode — full NHTSA build sheet, sub-4-second turnaround.
03
Voice / Text
Whisper transcription or manual search, routed automatically to the right decode engine.
04
Upload
From your camera roll. JPEG, PNG, HEIC — same AI cross-check, same output. Works offline.
05
Manual Type
Year, make, model, trim — or any natural language combination. Works when you already know the car and want the intelligence layer fast.
ONE FLOW. EVERY EXOTIC. INSTANT ANSWER.

Intelligence Layer
SupercarIQ

BEYOND IDENTIFICATION —
REAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE

Identification is the entry point. The intelligence layer is the product.

HammerIQ Auction Comps

Closed-sale data from BaT, Mecum, RM Sotheby's, Gooding, Cars & Bids. 1,174+ real sale records. Price velocity and color-premium data — not estimates.

Market Value & Collector Rating

Real comp-backed valuation range plus a collector-grade and investment rating. Powered by the same data set as HammerIQ. Not a KBB lookup.

My Garage + Vaults

Every scan saved automatically into four vaults: Own, Had, Watching, Dream. Personal exotic car record — searchable, exportable, shareable.

Social Studio

AI-drafted, platform-native captions for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn. One scan, six ready-to-post drafts. Compounding organic acquisition.

Buy · Sell · Trade

Peer-to-peer marketplace with intelligence built into every listing. No separate research step required. List once, show comp context automatically.

Specialist Builder Network

RWB, Singer, Liberty Walk, Gunther Werks, Novitec — aftermarket provenance drives premiums. SupercarIQ indexes it. Nobody else does.

Market Opportunity
SupercarIQ

A MARKET GOING DIGITAL, FAST

The exotic and collector car market is a $100B+ global asset class. The tools available to buyers, sellers, collectors, and enthusiasts have not materially changed in 20 years.

Online auction sales surpassed live auctions for the first time in 2025. Nearly half of registered bidders at top auction houses this year are brand-new — and far more comfortable buying through digital platforms.

Adjacent data markets validate the model: vehicle history reports alone are a $2.8B market[4]. In-vehicle subscription services reached $47.8B[5] in 2025. SupercarIQ is positioned at the intersection of both.

Why Now — AI

Vision models and OCR are finally accurate enough for camera-first identification. Not a gimmick. A real product moment.

Why Now — Buyers

A younger, digital-native collector base is entering the market at exactly the scale needed to support a platform business.

Why Now — Data

Auction data has gone online and structured. Real comp-based valuation is now buildable outside the auction houses themselves.

Proprietary IP & Data Moat
SupercarIQ

THE DATA LAYER NOBODY
ELSE IS BUILDING

Every scan adds signal. The moat deepens with every user. Here is what we own.

Note

The methods and names below are potential trademarks — not yet registered. A USPTO search has returned no conflicting registrations for these specific marks. Formal use-based filings under Class 42 (SaaS / Data Intelligence) and Class 35 (Market Data Services) are planned concurrent with SAFE close. Names may be refined before filing.

Chain of Custody Intelligence· Potential TM

Proprietary logic for tracing a vehicle's ownership arc from first factory delivery through current owner — including first buyer, lease-return pickup owner, title transfer events, and specialist-build transitions. No current tool connects all of these in one mobile scan.

HammerIQ Auction Comp Engine· Potential TM

Aggregated closed-sale data from six major auction platforms, normalized, de-duped, and enriched with color-premium and price-velocity signals. The underlying scoring model and cross-source deduplication logic is proprietary methodology.

Collector Grade Algorithm· Potential TM

Multi-variable scoring model that weighs production rarity, build spec, auction trajectory, specialist provenance, and market demand to generate a single collector investment rating. No external data source produces this output.

Specialist Builder Registry Index· Potential TM

Indexed dataset of known specialist-built vehicles: RWB, Singer, Liberty Walk, Gunther Werks, Novitec, and others — mapped to VINs and market premium data. This is the only aggregate of its kind built specifically for mobile-first valuation.

IQ Scan Report Format· Potential TM

The combined output format — identification, build sheet, auction comps, collector rating, market value range, provenance — structured and exported as a PDF or shareable link. The format itself, and the data orchestration logic behind it, is proprietary.

Social Studio Generation Logic· Potential TM

Platform-native content generation tuned specifically to exotic car culture — not generic AI captions. Prompt engineering, tone calibration, and vehicle-data injection logic trained on collector-community language patterns.

Potential Trademark Pipeline — 6 Marks

The six methods above are candidates for USPTO use-based trademark filing under Class 42 (SaaS / Data Intelligence) and Class 35 (Market Data Services). USPTO search returned no conflicting registrations. Formal filing planned concurrent with SAFE close. No marks are currently registered.

Why This Moat Is Defensible
Data compounds: each scan improves comp accuracy and collector grade signals
Specialist builder relationships create supply-side exclusivity
Chain of custody logic requires domain expertise, not just data access
6 proprietary methods × mobile-first UX = high switching cost for users
First-mover in mobile-native exotic car intelligence — category creation opportunity

Who We're Looking For
SupercarIQ

FIVE WAYS TO JOIN THE ROUND

This is not a standard VC pitch. We are looking for partners who add more than capital.

Creative Partners
Content creators and media voices

Bring audience, storytelling, and authentic distribution. Car channels, automotive journalists, social-first creators who can turn SupercarIQ into a content engine. In exchange for a piece of the round, your reach becomes our acquisition channel.

Reach Partners
Influencers with automotive audiences

Have 400K–1M+ engaged followers in the car space? A single authentic post to a conversion audience can be worth more than $50K in paid CAC. Reach Partners receive equity in exchange for distribution — no cash required. Revenue share from early subscriber growth covers operational costs. Ownership: 15–25% depending on audience size and conversion profile.

Strategic Partners
Auction houses, dealers, insurers

Bring data partnerships and industry credibility. Your comp data or inventory feeds become part of the intelligence layer. Your customer base becomes a distribution channel. Mutual upside: your data is more valuable inside SupercarIQ than sitting in a silo.

Operating Partners
Hands-on collaborators

Bring growth, community, and execution support. If you have built a SaaS user base, run paid acquisition for automotive brands, or operated community platforms at scale — we want your playbook, not just your check.

Angel Investors
Capital-focused investors

Standard SAFE terms. No operational involvement required. You believe the exotic car market will have its Bloomberg Terminal moment, and you want to own a piece of the product that gets there first.

For Existing Companies & Media Brands

If you are an auction house, automotive media brand, insurance company, dealer group, or content network with reach in this market — there is a partnership structure built for you. You do not need to write a $125K check. You need conviction and an audience. The product is live. The data is real. If your platform reaches exotic car buyers, collectors, or enthusiasts at scale, let's have that conversation.

Founder
SupercarIQ

BUILT AND OPERATED BY ONE TECHNICAL FOUNDER

Gavin Brooks
Founder · SupercarIQ & Paddock20  ·  paddock20.com  ·  gavinbrookshq.com
github.com/letsgotime  ·  8 repos (2 public · expanding as READMEs finalize)
Enterprise Operator

26 years building and leading at scale. AT&T: 1,586 stores, $109.8M vs $96M quota, 14× President's Club. Apple, T-Mobile, Amazon DSP ($12M / 46 routes). 587 employees managed across 22+ cities. D1 athlete. Published author.

Domain Authority

Currently operates DRX Lot Assistant for duPont REGISTRY — $80M+/month in real exotic vehicle throughput, 280 vehicles/month at $289K avg. unit value. GoTime Motorsports hosts Tires & Timepieces ($64.5M in vehicles showcased, 131,652 impressions) and Donuts with DuPont (1,000+/mo). This is the market SupercarIQ is built for.

Agentic Engineering

8 production apps shipped in 12 months. One architect. No engineering team. AI agents handle code generation, iteration, and deployment — the founder handles product decisions and domain intelligence. Full portfolio: paddock20.com.

The Arc That Matters
Domain

Not an outsider building for a market. This is the person who ran the operation, managed the inventory, and watched buyers make bad decisions for lack of data — at duPont REGISTRY, at 200+ exotic car events, on the lot.

Agentic Engineering

AI accelerates a person who already knows how to do the work. The arc: Excel pivot tables → Google/Microsoft certified → no-code → full-stack → agentic. 8 production apps in 12 months. Full portfolio at paddock20.com.

Speed

8 production apps in 12 months. Not prototypes — shipped software with real users. That velocity, applied to one focused product with a real data moat, is the structural advantage.

Proof

DRX Lot Assistant processes $80M/month in exotic vehicle throughput for duPont REGISTRY — 280 vehicles/mo at $289K avg unit. Same domain as SupercarIQ. Already working, already trusted. See gavinbrookshq.com.
