Overview

MotorDNA is a cloud-based automotive analytics and insurance technology platform founded in 2021 and headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The company provides VIN-level vehicle specification data, safety feature identification, and AI-powered analytics to insurance carriers, auto lenders, dealerships, fleet operators, and service providers. MotorDNA maintains what it describes as the most granular VIN-level vehicle database in the US market, covering safety features, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) equipment, recalls, maintenance schedules, and vehicle attributes for 95%+ of all makes and models sold in the United States.

MotorDNA's proprietary Vehicle IQ Score assesses collision prevention capability based on ADAS technology and installed safety equipment at the individual vehicle level, giving carriers a data-driven tool for more accurate auto risk pricing. The company launched the MotorDNA Insurance Marketplace in August 2023, a digital SaaS platform connecting auto dealerships and online car-selling platforms with real-time bindable insurance quotes at the point of vehicle purchase -- enabling dealers to offer insurance without intermediaries and increase revenue per vehicle sold.

The company's mission is to leverage data and technology to improve safety in the mobility ecosystem. MotorDNA operates a separate AI-focused platform at motordna.ai and has expanded its board with senior insurance industry veterans to drive deeper carrier relationships.
