About TrustedCars Flex
Imagine you can walk into your local car dealership, request the vehicle of your choice and drive it as long as you want, where no long-term contracts are required or hidden costs come as a surprise, and all for a low weekly payment.
With TC Flex you can choose any vehicle you want from the available inventory of participating car dealers, digitally sign for it in the app and you are ready to go. Drive the vehicle you like as long as you want and return it or swap for another vehicle anytime.
With our unique combination of technology expertise and deep industry relationships we have designed a solution that offers consumers a convenient way to own a vehicle without ownership responsibilities. In parallel we offer dealerships an additional source of income and access to a new generation of consumers.
TC Flex as a high-tech company helps dealerships move up the technology change curve, with an easy accessible all-in-one solution. It takes a car dealer in excess of 100 days on average to sell a vehicle, with the related holding costs. We provide a technological solution for dealers to resolve both sides of the income statement issue: increase in revenue and reduction in holding costs. Instead of vehicles taking space, they are on the road making money to offset inventory-financing and other expenses.

Strong team and savvy advisors. Promising original idea if well implemented. Thorough whitepaper, but more financial and business planning numbers should be added

Interesting use of the blockchain with identity tracking - this time for vehicles. Commercial viable, although there are obstacles to true adoption here. Execution on the roadmap would be key.

Good team and good vision. Most importantly, they have proved themselves by winning awards. However, I think the team has to be bigger for sure and more financials should be shown as well.

Team: Strong team, a lot of professionals from Germany which is know of high quality car industry knowledge.
Vision: Very innovative idea, excellent use of many possibilities of blockchain technology.
Product: There is a lot of competition in this field. More numbers and financial data would give a full 5/5, but still strong 4/5.

awesome idea, which will help us save the planet if implemented. I'm also sure the team means well and is able to deliver because trustedcars.com already exists.
The only red flag for me is the existing platform trustedcars is still based on car ownership, is essentially a website where you sell used cars, I don't see the connection between the token, so they are starting from scratch.
Maybe one of the founders can explain.

thanks a lot for your time and your feedback.
About your concern regarding TrustedCars.com, we actually founded TrustedCars more than 3 years ago as as One-Stop Shop for purchasing cars. It's been called several times the Amazon for Cars by the Media in Germany and we won awards for this concept as well.
In short: Customers order a car completely online, even used cars. Used cars are being checked by experts and delivered to the customer, no matter where he lives. Incl. a full warranty (min. 12 months) and a 14-day money back guarantee. We made buying a car as easy as ordering a book online :)
And we don't own any cars, instead we market and sell the vehicles of our car dealer partners.
After 3 years of working closely with dealerships and talking to thousands of customers we were able to identify the challenges in this industry and designed a solution which is going to change car ownership forever.
So I hope the fact that we founded TrustedCars 3 years ago as an Online-Shop which offered the safest and most convenient way to purchase a car isn't a red flag but shows that we didn't just think of the new concept sitting on the sofa but after years of working in this industry and working on a technology to revolutionize the automotive industry.
We have deep industry relationships (for example more than 100 of the largest and most renowned dealerships in Europe are our partners) and the technology expertise which will help us to expand really fast and establish the FLEX Token as the main payment method and reward system in the automotive industry.
I hope you will reconsider the Product Rating :)
Kind regards from Frankfurt/Germany,
Simon

The team and the advisors are excellent. The idea is really nice, it's really promising if implemented. The WP is ok, but it could use more financial and business planning numbers and the MVP is not that clear. The concept is really unique even though the product is not as original.

Nowadays it isn't enough to make a beautiful website and promise something in the future.
Now, to become a successful project and receive necessary investments it is important to:
- Innovation level - incremental - ➖
- Show the MVP (product, prototype) - Not clear ✅
- Strong Competitor analysis ✅
- Core Team ✅and not multi-position team
- marketing ICO budget ✅
- Events calendar ❌
- have agreements with exchanges ❌
- Business revenu Forecasting ❌
- show ROI to investors ❌
- have max. transparency ✅
- have legally protected product ⚠️
- work actively with the community ⚠️
- have a powerful team and advisors ➖
- meet investors F2F ⚠️
- have a descriptive WP (with clear financial model). ⚠️

thanks a lot for taking your time and rating our project.
You are absolutely right that a beautiful website isn't enough. This is why it should be mentioned that we have founded TrustedCars 3 years ago and have so far received several awards for our project. And not only Start-Up awards but awards within the Industry and most recently from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs in Germany.
About your points:
- meet investors F2F
--> We are currently visiting and speaking at a lot of Blockchain/Crypto events, most recently in Amsterdam/Frankfurt/London/Seoul... If you have suggestions which to visit, happy to discuss.
- have legally protected product
--> This was for us as a Germany based company with strict jurisdiction very important. We have 2 lawyers and 1 certified public accountant in our advisory board who helped us to prepare the ICO. Furthermore we talked to government officials in Berlin.
- have agreements with exchanges
--> We are currently negotiating with exchanges and have already pre-agreements. We are going to announce them very soon.
- work actively with the community
--> We have a 24/7 support on all social media channels and on Telegram and we meet the community at events as well.
- show ROI to investors
We don't want to be like most ICOs and show charts with overpromising Token development. Instead we will overdeliver.
Most recently we were able to close a deal with a large Crypto Fund. They probably wouldn't have agreed to such a deal without a convincing Business case and a promising future ROI.
Thank you again for your time
Kind regards from Frankfurt
