Startup Name: Machinery Partner
Tagline: Managed marketplace for new heavy machinery, direct from the manufacturer
Elevator Pitch: We’ve spent the last 15 years frustrated at how broken buying heavy equipment is. Traditional dealers take a huge chunk of margin to fund their premises and out of date operations. Sales reps hunt for deals with the largest commission, leaving smaller contractors working to give them money for machines. Servicing and aftercare is non-existent.
This industry is run on paper and handshakes. We’re here to take it into the 21st century.
We want to make buying machinery easy, provide the best support possible, and get you the right machinery at best price no matter where you are.
Target Market: Small to medium contractors
How will you make money?: We take a margin on every machine we sell plus the servicing and aftercare of machines
How much capital have you raised?: 100-250k
