Private investor brief

Start with the repair shop. Grow into the operating platform.

ShopPilot Pro and XL release together in mid 2026 with a practical single-store operating system. Multi-Store and Rental back ends are due early 2027, creating a deliberate path from small-shop workflow to a broader platform.

Real shop origin Two launch editions 2027 expansion layer

Why this is interesting

The wedge is repair-shop workflow. The opportunity is the operating layer behind it.

01

Built from the inside

The product started in a working small engine repair shop, where the same person may answer the phone, write the ticket, order the part, take payment, and close the drawer.

02

A clear buyer

Small repair shops need better software, but many cannot justify expensive dealership systems or cloud-only platforms built for larger operations.

03

A practical expansion path

Pro and XL establish the trusted system of record. Multi-Store and Rental extend the same operating data into new workflows without forcing the first product to become bloated.

Product architecture

One backbone. Four focused market lanes.

The roadmap separates daily shop operations from future back-end complexity, protecting product clarity while creating room for expansion.

The growth story

A modest shop count can create meaningful recurring revenue before platform expansion.

The Pro-only baseline can grow one demo and one shop-owner referral at a time. XL, Multi-Store, and Rental represent additional potential; they are deliberately excluded from the baseline figures below.

25 shops $18k ARR first proof of willingness to pay
100 shops $72k ARR supportable small company base
250 shops $180k ARR repeatable niche traction
500 shops $360k ARR real recurring revenue engine

The ask

Back the move from proven shop workflow to a focused repair-business platform.

ShopPilot already has a real-world origin and a specific first buyer. The investment case is launching Pro and XL well, proving recurring demand, and using that trusted operating backbone to unlock the Multi-Store and Rental back ends due early 2027.
