BUILDERS Shane McRann Bigelow, CEO at CHAMPtitles: Over $31 Million Raised to Build the Future of Vehicle Title Management
In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Shane McRann, CEO at CHAMPtitles, a digital title management platform that's raised over $31 Million in funding, about why challenges of identifying ownership for key assets can have implications far beyond the sector they’re focused on, and how CHAMPtitles’ simplified, streamlined process helps get transfers and sales in motion. With an innovative digital platform to help people register their movable assets, CHAMPtitles’ long-term mission is to help people across sell, insure, and borrow money against them, empowering their critical economic choices.
We also speak about Shane’s long road towards founding CHAMPtitles, through years of experience in finance and managing some unusual asset classes, why titling is so critical to economic empowerment, and how a system that people in the US take for granted could be a game changer for both governments and their constituents in other parts of the world.
