Rentennials runs a digital platform that connects car owners with people who need to rent a vehicle, operating in Argentina, Peru, and the United States. The model lets owners earn extra income from cars that would otherwise sit parked most of the day, racking up fixed costs without any return.
Why now? Founder and CEO Gerardo Germano said part of the funds will go towards insurance-linked products to cut operational friction for users.
