Why Toma

1. We don’t sell SaaS widgets. We replace entire dealership departments with AI agents that talk, reason, and do real work—24/7.
2. Zero proxy to the customer. Everyone on our team travels to customers: racing a Range Rover on I‑55 in Mississippi, wrenching under an F‑150 lift in Texas, or shadowing a finance manager in Detroit. You’ll feel the latency you’re optimizing.
3. Tiny team, giant surface area. Toma is <15 people today, >$100 K new ARR every month, and backed by a16z and Y Combinator.
4. Unrivaled autonomy. You’ll report to the CTO, drive the roadmap, veto features, and green‑light bets. No “ex‑Google committee” to slow you down.
