Brothers Craig Smith and Cole Smith recognized the challenges of buying a car and created Visor—a smarter, more user-friendly solution. 🚗 Visor is a pivot from their first startup, Currents (Techstars 2024), that helped people manage and track their possessions. Currents was among the first group to go through Techstars Columbus Powered by The Ohio State University and laid the groundwork for the creation of Visor. When comparing Visor to other competitors such as CarMax and Carvana, Craig Smith (Cofounder & CEO) explains, "These sites help dealers sell you a car. They do not help consumers buy a car." Visor stands out by offering transparent, searchable data to help users find the best deals. Since its launch, the app has gained over 8,000 users, all without any advertising.
