Karfu is raising £300,000 – Crowdfunding

Idea

4 years of research has shown that with so many new access choices (from ownership to usership) and vehicle types (from electric cars to electric scooters), people are now confused about what is right for them. We believe comparing has become a slow, manual, complex and frustrating process.

Our ambition is to provide every vehicle and mobility product and service in one place, to guide people to the right choice very quickly to reduce their research effort, help them find ways to save money on their vehicles as well as showcase more sustainable vehicles.

We do this through uniquely (according to our research) comparing a vehicle’s financial & environmental ‘Total Cost of Use’ over periods of time (from a day to a number of years) across different ways to access them including finance, leasing, subscription, sharing & rental.

We’re not just crowdfunding to launch – we want to give you equity & build a community of money saving, sustainable mobility experts.

We have big ambitions. The global mobility market is projected to reach $26.6 trillion by 2030, and so we’ve trademarked Karfu in the EU, with the USA pending.
