Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is an automotive software platform built to help car dealerships acquire high-quality used vehicles directly from private sellers—without relying on auctions. As wholesale prices rise and vehicle availability tightens, VAN empowers dealers with tools to source inventory faster, more profitably, and with greater control.
VAN aggregates local FSBO (for-sale-by-owner) listings, applies real-time market data to assess profitability, and automates communication with sellers at scale. Buyers can manage leads, track seller conversations, and streamline acquisition workflows through an intuitive CRM-style dashboard designed specifically for dealership teams.
For dealers who don’t have dedicated acquisition staff, VAN offers a Managed Buyer program, pairing stores with expert buyers who actively source, engage, and negotiate with private sellers on their behalf—saving time and boosting acquisition volume without internal hiring.
VAN is trusted by hundreds of dealerships across North America—from independent rooftops to franchise groups—looking to beat Carvana and CarMax at their own game. It's the smarter way to buy cars.

AuthorityTech is the world’s first AI-native Machine Relations agency and platform, engineered to position ambitious brands inside the Tier-1 publications that AI search engines inherently trust, retrieve, and cite. While conventional PR convinces humans through retainer-based effort, AuthorityTech optimizes for the new primary reader—the machine—through a 100% outcome-based, pay-per-placement model. This ensures leading answer engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, can seamlessly index the brand, map it to its rightful category, and cite it when buyers ask high-intent questions.
Coined in 2024 by Founder and CEO Jaxon Parrott, Machine Relations is the discipline of making a brand discoverable and citable by AI systems. Parrott built AuthorityTech to execute the five-layer Machine Relations stack: Earned Authority, Entity Clarity, Citation Architecture, Distribution, and Measurement. This unifies GEO, AEO, AI SEO, and digital PR into a single ecosystem for building machine trust.
Cofounder and Chief Growth Officer Christian Lehman operationalizes this strategy, deploying the methodology at scale. Leveraging a direct network of over 1,600 Tier-1 publications, AuthorityTech has secured thousands of AI-cited articles for 200+ clients, including 27 unicorn startups, to guarantee sustainable AI visibility and measurable share of citation.
The agency executes this via a three-part framework:
Map: Analyzing target categories and competitor LLM prompts.
Match: Aligning brand narratives with authoritative outlets.
Place: Securing guaranteed placements through relationship-led outreach.
