The site uses filters such as make, model, condition, price, color, engine type, and proximity to the buyer's ZIP code, in order to narrow down the choices available it then displays matching listings from dealers across the U.S., allowing the user to compare and contrast different vehicles.[2] Carsquare pulls its listings from its network of partners, which includes eBay, Carfax, CarsDirect, MyCarMatch, LotLinx, Usedcars.com, and Swapalease.com.[3] HistoryCarsquare was founded by Khurrum Shakir after leaving AOL in 2010.[4] The company launched in 2012 as iGrabberAutos.[5] It was one of the exhibitors at the 2013 Everywhereelse.co Startup Conference.[6] In May of the same year, the company was nominated and selected by Tech Cocktail (now Tech.Co) as one of "DC’s Hottest Tech Startups."[7] The next month, iGrabberAutos was nominated and selected out of 500+ startups to pitch at the MAVA Capital Connection 2013 Tech Buzz event.[8] In December 2013, iGrabberAutos was named one of the two winners of the Ballston LaunchPad Challenge, a Virginia-based entrepreneurial initiative dedicated to helping startups obtain funding. Emerging victorious out of a field of 250+ startups, the team was awarded $15,000 in cash; office space in Ballston, Arlington, VA; and legal aid from the law firm Saul Ewing LLP.[9] In the wake of this achievement, the company rebranded itself as Carsquare and has since moved and is now headquartered in Reston, Virginia.[10] In April 2014, CEO Khurrum Shakir announced the completion of a Series A round of funding, which was led by Robert G. Hisaoka.[11][12] Carsquare was an official sponsor of the Unlimited Racing team for the 2014 Pirelli World Challenge Championship. The company served as the primary sponsor of the No 51 TCB Honda Fit, driven by Brian Price.[13] PartnershipsCarsquare has established business partnerships with a number of companies, including Carfax, CarsDirect, eBay Motors, MyCarMatch, Usedcars.com, LotLinx, and Swapalease.com.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/capitalbusiness/when-it-comes-to-online-car-shopping-carsquare-wants-to-reinvent-the-wheel/2014/08/01/08950de8-1814-11e4-9e3b-7f2f110c6265_story.html|title= When it comes to online car shopping, Carsquare wants to reinvent the wheel|publisher=Washingtonpost|accessdate=October 9, 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://theweeklydriver.com/carsquare-com-the-easiest-best-way-to-buy-or-lease-a-car/|title= Carsquare.com: the easiest, best way to buy or lease a car|publisher=The Weekly Driver|accessdate=September 27, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/blog/techflash/2013/12/igrabberautos-rebrands-as-carsquare.html|title= 'Kayak-for-cars' startup wins $15k, moves to Ballston, rebrands as Carsquare|publisher=Washington Business Journal|accessdate=September 27, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://carsquare.com/about-carsquare|title=About|publisher=Carsquare|accessdate=September 29, 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://tech.co/search-and-compare-vehicles-on-multiple-websites-with-igrabber-2013-06/|title= Search For, and Compare Vehicles on Multiple Websites with iGrabber|publisher=Tech.Co|accessdate=September 27, 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://seriousstartups.com/2013/02/21/igrabber-kayak-car-shopping/|title=iGrabber Is The Kayak For Car Shopping|publisher=Serious Startups|accessdate=September 27, 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://tech.co/dcs-hottest-startup-2013-05|title=Who is DC’s Hottest Showcasing Startup?|publisher=Tech.Co|accessdate=September 29, 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.mava.org/programs/techbuzz-series/techbuzz-alumni/ |title=TechBUZZ Alumni |publisher=Mid-Atlantic Venture Association |accessdate=September 29, 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930232256/http://www.mava.org/programs/techbuzz-series/techbuzz-alumni/ |archivedate=September 30, 2015 |df= }} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://patch.com/virginia/arlington-va/launchpad-two-startups-win-cash-office-space-in-ballston-challenge|title=LaunchPad: Two Startups Win Cash, Office Space in Ballston Challenge|publisher=Arlington Patch|accessdate=September 27, 2015}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/blog/techflash/2013/12/igrabberautos-rebrands-as-carsquare.html|title= 'Kayak-for-cars' startup wins $15k, moves to Ballston, rebrands as Carsquare|publisher=Washington Business Journal|accessdate=September 27, 2015}} 11. ^{{cite web|url= http://tech.co/carsquare-raises-undisclosed-series-a-round-of-funding-2014-04|title= Carsquare Raises Undisclosed Series A Round of Funding, Launches New Platform|publisher=Tech.Co|accessdate=September 27, 2015}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://tech.co/carsquare-raising-money-2015-06|title= DC Based Carsquare Is Adding Features and Raising Money|publisher=Tech.Co|accessdate=September 27, 2015}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.world-challenge.com/news/team-news/item/2696-carsquare-partners-with-unlimited-racing/2696-carsquare-partners-with-unlimited-racing.html |title=Carsquare Partners with Unlimited Racing |publisher=Pirelli World Challenge |accessdate=September 27, 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151002021625/http://www.world-challenge.com/news/team-news/item/2696-carsquare-partners-with-unlimited-racing/2696-carsquare-partners-with-unlimited-racing.html |archivedate=October 2, 2015 |df= }} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://theweeklydriver.com/carsquare-com-the-easiest-best-way-to-buy-or-lease-a-car/|title= Carsquare.com: the easiest, best way to buy or lease a car|publisher=The Weekly Driver|accessdate=September 27, 2015}} 6 : Automotive websites|Internet companies|Internet properties established in 2013|American companies established in 2013|2013 establishments in Virginia|Companies based in Reston, Virginia |
