Sheryl Sandberg has led a $10 million investment into Self Inspection, a San Diego-based startup that is also backed by former Tesla president Jon McNeill’s DVx Ventures.
The startup, founded in 2021, has spent the last few years trying to disrupt the vehicle inspection process by making it possible to properly asses body damage on a car with as little tech as a smartphone camera. Self Inspection told TechCrunch that it has already completed more than 1 million vehicle inspections for rental fleets, automotive finance companies, auctions, and marketplaces, with Stellantis’ financial services arm using the platform for corporate-owned vehicles and lease-end inspections.
