A Sarabi Venture Studio Product

Built for East African importers

Kenya imports 34,000+ used vehicles every year. An estimated 12-18% carry undisclosed damage, outstanding finance, or stolen records. We exist to change that.

The Problem

No way to verify overseas history

NTSA's current vehicle intake process has no mandate to verify overseas history. Importers rely on trust, word-of-mouth, or expensive individual checks scattered across foreign government websites. The result: billions in KES lost to undisclosed damage, clocked odometers, and stolen vehicles.
