Connected vehicles are transforming fleet operations across industries, led by the electric revolution. EVs were the first truly software-defined vehicles, and businesses are rapidly adopting them but lack the software infrastructure to unlock their true value. Our mission is to build the fleet management platform for the electric vehicle era - becoming the default software layer that empowers fleet operators to maximize efficiency and profitability without hardware modifications. Every member of the Standard Fleet team is fueled by an unwavering passion for revolutionizing mobility through software and is deeply committed to making our products better. We come from companies like Apple, Uber, Tesla, Stripe, Robinhood, and Yelp and were the first to officially integrate with Tesla's fleet API. We've achieved 5.7x growth in 2024 with a small team and want your help to accelerate further. Standard Fleet is well-funded and backed by some of Silicon Valley's top investors. We were founded by David Hodge, who previously founded Embark. At Embark, the team built a popular transportation app used by millions, which was eventually sold to Apple.
