Dan Rizzo reposted thisAutonomy gets the spotlight, but execution still happens in the physical world. Vehicles still need to move, tasks need to be executed, and fleets need to stay revenue-ready, at scale and in real time. That’s what we power at Draiver, combining technology, operations, and a nationwide network of vetted operator ICs to execute physical logistics across the entire vehicle lifecycle. Powering fleet motion, today and into autonomy. #AutonomousVehicles #FleetOperations #VehicleLogisticsDan Rizzo reposted this🚗 Discover Vehicle Logistics - Reinvented. The automotive and trucking world is evolving. Operations are becoming more complex. Autonomy is moving from pilots to real-world execution. Behind all of it, one thing remains true: vehicles still need to move, have tasks executed, and be revenue-ready. This video shows how Draiver powers fleet motion across the entire vehicle journey — combining technology, operations, and a nationwide driver network to execute physical logistics at scale. From OEMs and traditional operators to autonomous vehicle programs testing new operational layouts, we’re building the logistics backbone ready to support what’s next. ▶️ Watch the video.

Dan Rizzo shared thisHad the privilege of speaking at the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship last week, sharing the Draiver journey and talking through the realities of scaling a logistics startup, building trust with enterprise customers, and navigating an acquisition. The group of MBA students I met with was incredibly smart, thoughtful, and enthusiastic. Their curiosity around AI, mobility, and real-world operations made the conversation even better. Huge thank you to my friend and former colleague Nestor Esquivel de la Garza for the invitation and for continuing to champion meaningful conversations about entrepreneurship and leadership. Always great to reconnect. Grateful for the opportunity and energized by the next generation of builders coming out of MIT.

Dan Rizzo reposted thisDan Rizzo reposted thisHow Draiver Now Helps NADA Dealers Deliver Faster Vehicle Relocation ⚡ "The first is the SPEED, right? You can request a driver to be in your store in 2 hours, and move this vehicle and deliver it in 4 hours. 🎯 The second thing is our CONVENIENCE. So you don't need to tell us that you're going to have this demand. 🚗 You can just go to the platform and request the move. It's something like Uber, right? So I need to move this car, I go to Draiver, I place a trip, and 2 hours later a driver shows up to move this vehicle for you. 🙏 The third point is PEACE OF MIND. We cover the movement, we cover the car, we cover the liability, and we cover the driver. 👀 And the 4th point is VISIBILITY. For your client (or partner), they can see where the car is, and where the driver is. 👍 It's like a DoorDash experience. You can see the car moving along the map and the ETA at your place." ⭐ Paulo Ferrato, CRO Draiver https://www.draiver.com/ 🎬 How Draiver Makes Your Complex Deliver Moves Easy https://lnkd.in/gkUZgSQ6 🚀 Follow ATI Auto Business https://lnkd.in/guaSsFWJ #automotive #OEM #dealer #auction #fleet #rental #delivery #driveaway #relocation #inventory #retail #logistics #NADAshow #NADA2025

From manufacturing supply chains to immigration, sports, and even a quantum physics 🤯 … the IL–MX relationship keeps getting stronger. The Mexico vs. Belgium match was the perfect way to wrap it all up.

Dan Rizzo liked thisDan Rizzo liked thisToday is St. Patrick's Day. The day everyone bets on luck. Including in vehicle logistics. "Did the driver confirm?" "Did the vehicle arrive?" "Is anyone tracking this?" Entire operations running on hope. Draiver was built to change that. Real-time visibility. Smarter routing. Reliable execution. Luck is optional. Predictability isn't. How many vehicles in your operation still depend on luck? 🍀 #vehiclelogistics #fleetmanagement #driveaway #ondemandlogistics #automotive

Dan Rizzo liked thisDan Rizzo liked thisAfter 3.5 years at DRAIVER, the ride has come to an end. I still remember our first vehicle move back in 2023, with too many doubts on how a vehicle logistics gig-platform would work in a country like Mexico. Now, after hundreds of thousands of vehicles moved nationwide, I've decided to take on new challenges. I want to thank Armando Flores, Federico Ranero, Dan Rizzo, Paulo Ferrato for the opportunity of building MX operations with them and for the empowerment they gave me to challenge myself and the market to scale DRAIVER. The learnings I take from working with each one of them are priceless. I am sure with their leadership DRAIVER will continue its road to the next level of revolutionizing vehicle logistics. I also want to thank my team Uriel Vargas Sánchez, Juan Daniel Santiago, Camila Flores, Cristian Arizmendi, José Manuel Durán for their incredible work, loyalty and effort. Without them, DRAIVER MX wouldn't be where it is now. The stories and learnings are endless, I am very gratefull with this chapter in my career and for sure will remember it for the rest of it.

Dan Rizzo reacted on thisDan Rizzo reacted on thisIt’s been an incredible couple of weeks since the MIT $100K Accelerate Finals! Thrilled to share a quick update: ANGY took home the Audience Choice Award. Being selected as one of 9 teams out of more than 100 applicants was already a meaningful milestone for us. More importantly, the experience did what it was supposed to do. It applied pressure. Pitching in front of a demanding technical and investment ecosystem forces you to sharpen your thesis, stress-test your assumptions, and defend how Angy addresses a structural problem. I see this as a signal that the problem we are working on is real, and that we are on the right path to the healthcare redesign needed for Mexico and the region. Healthcare is a long-term game. We are just in the first 10 meters. Most importantly, I’m proud of the team Atahan Afsar & Carolina Orozco Romo. Another sprint with disciplined execution. Now we’re back to building.

Michigan is charging ahead in electrification: $28B in EV and battery investments secured, making us the #2 state for EV project. The auto industry contributes $348B to our state GDP, but to keep it that way we must win in electric and autonomous tech. One insight I loved from the MichAuto 2025 State of Automobility report: even with surging EV output, 94% of EV owners say they’ll buy electric again – proof the demand is real if we get it right. At Wipfli, we’re working with suppliers on EV-readiness – whether it’s supply chain pivot strategies or leveraging new R&D tax credits for innovation. The future will belong to those who invest today in tomorrow’s mobility. #EVRevolution #Wipfli #Automotive #MichAuto

Early-stage finance blind spots cost startups time and runway. We see three repeat issues—and we fix them. 1) Poor cash-flow forecasting: we implement rolling 13‑week forecasts tied to grant and tax timelines common in Iowa, so Manchester, Dubuque, Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids founders know when to conserve cash or accelerate receipts. 2) No pricing-margin visibility: we provide simple COGS templates for retailers and wholesalers that reveal true margins and guide pricing decisions. 3) Missing internal controls: we design lightweight controls that protect limited staff time while reducing fraud and errors. We bring executive finance practices into actionable tools your team can use today. Learn how we help startups, retailers and nonprofits stabilize finances and extend runway: https://wix.to/hk2QQGq 1–2 hour discovery calls available—let’s talk through your biggest blind spot. ✅ #StartupFinance #CashFlow #SmallBusiness

When logistics moves fast, funding should too. 🚃 Fleet expansion, receivables, and daily operations need capital that understands timing not just numbers. 👍 We structure logistics funding around cash flows, assets, and growth plans. Because finance should enable movement, not slow it down. 👏 #LogisticsFinance #BusinessFunding #NovaBridge

Manufacturers: it’s time to lean in, not lean back. In a recent conversation with Michigan Business Beat, Wipfli's Gina Skibo dives into the real pulse of the industry, from uncertainty and labor retention to maximizing what you already own (yes, under-utilized equipment is a thing) and where AI & automation actually fit into the picture. If you’re wrestling with slow demand, disconnected systems, or wondering how to turn technology into clarity (not complexity), this episode is solid gold for mid-market companies navigating change.
