It was like the last thing I ever thought about.

I studied politics in college.

I thought I was going to be in politics my whole life.

But yeah, like,

I actually use a lot of what I learned in politics in building a business, having so much similarity.

But, you know, it definitely is a detriment for me not to having some semblance of technical knowledge.

Um, and that's a big mess.

And I wish I had gained that earlier.

Thank you, and I hope everybody stays safe.

I am glad to be with you.

Shift is a way to either sell a car or to buy a car.

Today, if you want to get a new car that's used, you either go to a dealer and buy a used car from a dealer, or you buy a car private party, most likely on Craigslist.

Shift is sort of the alternative, a different way to do that.

If you have a car to sell, we come to your house, we take the car away, and we then sell it for you on your behalf.

And if you're a buyer, we actually deliver the test drive to you, to your house, so that you can try the car before you buy.

But we don't have like a physical lot that you can go to to look at the cars and it's all done virtually and on demand.

So it's basically taking all the costs out of a traditional sale and being the savings of that to the seller.

So we are a local market, meaning we do things in specific markets.

That car would be available for a test drive in San Francisco, anywhere from like San Jose all the way up to Marin County.

And you can, on the website, book a test drive by asking for a day when you want the test drive to happen.
