Our Story

Built by drivers,
for drivers

DashMateAI started in 2023 when our co-founder Alex, driving for Uber to fund his startup, realized he had no idea if he was actually making money after expenses. Spreadsheets, guesses, and a $1,200 repair bill he never saw coming led to one conclusion: there had to be a better way.

Our Mission

"To give every driver — from the weekend commuter to the full-time gig worker — the same intelligent tools that used to be reserved for professional fleet operators."

What we stand for

Driver-First

Every feature we build starts with one question: does this genuinely help drivers earn more or stress less? We build for impact, not checkboxes.

Radical Transparency

Your data is yours. We never sell it, share it without consent, or use it against you. Clear pricing, clear policies, no surprises.

Obsessive Simplicity

Car data is complex. We make it feel effortless. If something requires a manual, we redesign it until it doesn't.

Built for the Long Term

We're building a company that will still be here when your car needs a new OBDII device in 5 years. No growth-at-all-costs shortcuts.
