OPPORTUNITY

Market Size & Momentum

  • Global Autonomous Vehicle Market — Exceeding $500B by 2030

    Autonomous mobility is no longer theoretical. Waymo, Cruise, Motional, and others are already deploying driverless fleets in U.S. cities. Analysts project the global AV market will surpass $500 billion by 2030, with revenue streams spanning ride-hailing, freight logistics, and fleet services. OTTOYARD positions itself as the infrastructure backbone required to support this scale.

  • Southeast EV Fleet Adoption Growing 18–22% Annually

    The Southeast is one of the fastest-growing EV adoption corridors, bolstered by federal NEVI program funding, state-level incentives, and utility-led charging initiatives. Fleet electrification is accelerating for municipal transit, school buses, and delivery fleets. Yet, operators lack the dedicated depots needed to manage uptime and charging at scale.

  • Freight Automation & eVTOL Infrastructure Opening Multi-Billion Opportunities by 2028+

    Long-haul freight automation is advancing rapidly, with companies like Aurora, Kodiak, and TuSimple targeting full commercialization this decade. In parallel, urban air mobility (eVTOL) is projected to become a multi-billion-dollar market by the early 2030s. Both sectors demand purpose-built depots for charging, staging, inspections, and multi-modal integration, creating massive upside for OTTOYARD’s ULTRA model.

Financial Highlights (Illustrative)

Per-Depot Economics – Pilot Phase (Based on industry benchmarks & internal projections)

  • Build Cost (MINI Depot): $1.2M – $1.6M

  • Build Cost (MAX Depot): $3.5M – $4.2M

  • Annual Revenue Potential (MINI): $2.4M – $3.6M at 75–90% stall utilization

  • Annual Revenue Potential (MAX): $6.8M – $9.2M at similar utilization

  • EBITDA Margins: 60–70% on mature sites due to high contract stickiness and low operating overhead

Multiple Revenue Streams per Depot

  1. Depot-as-a-Service fees (anchor fleet contracts)

  2. Charging revenue (per kWh or per stall lease)

  3. Maintenance & servicing (on-site or mobile teams)

  4. FleetOps software subscriptions

  5. Phase 2+ expansions (white-label ride-hailing, autonomous charging, freight expansion)

  6. Depot Franchise Opportunities

Competitive Advantage

First-Mover in the Southeast – No other integrated AV/EV depot network in this growth corridor.

Hybrid Real Estate + Tech Model – Depots create a physical moat; software creates high-margin upside.

Phased Rollout – Reduces risk by starting with contracted, recurring-revenue fleet operations before entering consumer services.

The Investment Case

Raising Pre-Seed: $3.0M

Use of Funds:

  • Pilot MINI depot site acquisition & construction: ~67%

  • OttoCommand AI platform development (AI + integrations): ~17%

  • Founder runway & key team hires (CTO, COO/CDO): ~13%

  • Partnerships & market development: ~5%

Investing in OTTOYARD means capturing market share before the Southeast’s AV/EV adoption surge, with a model that combines real estate-backed assets and scalable software for defensible, recurring growth.
