Also, worth noting that Beepi originally wanted to raise $300M in funding in 2015, and had to scale that back to $70M, citing the markets.

@rabois for our average transaction size, that’s ~$2500 in net revenue. Far from marginal. Happy to discuss one day.

@rabois and 6-11% is the vehicle take rate. Beepi offers financing, extended peace of mind and soon, insurance.

@AleResnik right so you take 6-11% and keep 5-6% absolute percentage points?
