The Company has also bolstered its workforce by hiring sales professionals in New York and New England, two new geographies with large total addressable markets.
Jon Lamb, CEO of DRIVRZ Financial commented, "Despite historically low used car inventory levels and a hurricane in Florida which impacted originations, we still generated greater than 30% revenue growth sequentially for a second consecutive month. We see growth accelerating in the Fall when used car inventory levels are replenished. We have broadened our sales outreach to several new markets and have increased sales density in existing markets. Market acceptance for our products is unequivocal, and our conviction is growing stronger to achieve our 2021 and 2022 objectives."
