AutoGrab is an automotive data platform. It helps dealerships, insurers, lenders, fleet operators and marketplaces identify a vehicle, work out what it is worth now and see where its value is heading, using real-time valuations, sourcing tools, history checks and market analytics. It also runs consumer products including CarAnalysis and Valuemycar.

Founded in Melbourne in 2020 by co-CEOs Daniel Werzberger and Chris Gardner, AutoGrab says its platform is used by more than 1,000 Australian dealerships and by around 90% of Australian motor insurers for total-loss settlements. It also operates in the UK, New Zealand and Malaysia, with an office in London.

In January 2026 AutoGrab raised A$80 million in a round led by Octopus Ventures and Movac to expand in the UK and Europe. During 2026 it also extended coverage to motorbikes, caravans and heavy commercial vehicles.

Why I own it

Every car sale, insurance quote and car loan needs to know exactly what the vehicle is and what it's worth. AutoGrab provides that data to dealers, insurers, lenders and fleets.

It's a system of record for vehicles. Other businesses make decisions on its data, and AI makes that data more useful rather than replacing it.

  1. On the map

    The Aussie dollar slipped under 70 US cents this week

    The RBA's official rate fell from 0.6977 to 0.6933 US dollars between 30 September and 2 October. That matters for Australian holdings like AutoGrab and Flyweel, whose cloud bills from Amazon and Microsoft are priced in US dollars while their revenue sits in Aussie ones. A softer dollar also means the US-heavy public basket is worth more back home, even before any share price moves.

Written by AI from share prices, the companies' posts and the news. Can be wrong; not financial advice.
