Cora is a management application for vehicles that aims to bring together all car-related documents and more. The CEO, Charlotte, came up with the idea after forgetting her ID and driving license and getting stopped by the police. The app allows users to easily manage their car documents, book appointments with mechanics, and more. Cora is now expanding to include motorbikes. Their goal for 2024 is to promote their new functionality and expand their offer to European countries and beyond. Hello, we are all here this evening like every Tuesday evening on the podcast channel talking about the latest unicorns. Tonight is the Unicora episode. It does the presentation of the latest promising startup, Cora. This company is a management application linked to your vehicle. Its goal is to bring together all your documents related to your car and many other things. And this evening we have the chance to welcome Charlotte, the CEO of Cora, as well as Vandri, the head of the motorbike department. Hi everyone and thank you so much, Alice, for having us this evening. It's a pleasure being here. So my name is Charlotte Ruppert, I am the CEO of the company. Let's say that our main idea is to give to anyone the ability to manage everything about your car simply by your phone. Hello, thanks for your invitation. My name is Vandri Lesage and I am head of the motorbike department. I'm in charge of our new innovation, it's a motorbike section that we have developed recently. Our application was just for cars, so we decided to expand our business to include motorbikes. First of all, Charlotte, I was wondering how the idea of Cora came to your mind. Was it a random thing or an idea you thought about for a long time? That is actually a funny thing because it was a big story. I was a sailor before, which means I had to use my car really often. Once I forgot my ID card and my driving license at home, but I figured out just on the road. I had a meeting and I did not have time to go back and take it. At this exact moment, I was just praying to never meet any cops for the day. I managed to arrive at my meeting on time and everything went fine. But when I took the car back home for a good one hour of being on the road, cops interrupted me. I panicked but could not do anything about it actually. Obviously, they asked for my driving license, which I did not have. The worst happened, they took me to the police station. Thankfully, my husband went back to home early and saved me. But I waited a long time, for like a good two hours, to finally get out. This adventure made me realize how strange it was to not have our papers on our phones. Because nowadays, when you think about it, everything is on our phones, even our bank accounts. So why not our paper cards? That is how I came up with Quora. Ok, so cool. Can you explain a little bit more about how it works and how to use the app? Yes, in fact, we try to make it the easiest we could. When you download the app, you must inform us about your information, like your actual insurance, your place, etc. Then, when it's done, you are in the homepage where you can choose what you want to consult. If it's your papers, your insurance, booking an appointment with the mechanic to clean your car, then everything is really guided. Very useful. But also, I heard that you were developing a new offer to motorbike drivers, isn't it? Yes, it's true. Like I told you just before, we have just developed an offer for motorcycle drivers. This offer will have exactly the same functionalities as that of cars. You will therefore be able to find out about all your vehicle documents on the app, such as your driver's license, your identity card or your insurance. You can also make an appointment with the mechanic. Great! Good job! And currently, what is your vision, that is to say, a definite direction for growth and goals of the startup for 2024? Our goal for 2024 is to communicate as much as possible about our new functionality in order to make it known to as many people as possible. We also want to develop our offer abroad. Our application is only valid in the United Kingdom and we hope to expand it to European countries initially and then to other continents. We are therefore an innovative company with many ambitions and objectives. Thanks for coming! Thank you very much for all your answers. I think that internet users have understood. But if you have any questions, send them to us by email. And don't hesitate, if you have a car, to download the application on your phone. Thank you very much! It was a pleasure!
