Anu Shultes, CEO of DashAi – Reimagining Auto Financing with AI-Powered Dealership Operations |TiE Women’s Program Silicon Valley 2025
At the TiE Women’s Program – Silicon Valley, we spotlight women founders who are reshaping industries through practical, scalable innovation. Anu Shultes, CEO of DashAi, is doing exactly that — transforming how auto dealerships manage financing, workflows, and customer experience.
The Problem
Auto dealerships rely heavily on finance managers and fragmented legacy systems to structure deals, evaluate trade-ins, communicate with lenders, and finalize contracts.
This process is:
- Manual
- Inconsistent
- Slow to scale
Dealerships often juggle multiple tools that don’t talk to each other, causing delays, lost revenue, compliance risks, and customer frustration.
DashAi’s Solution
DashAi is building the AI financing agent and operating system for dealerships.
Its AI Desking Officer automates key finance workflows while seamlessly connecting:
- CRM
- Dealer Management Systems (DMS)
- Lender pipelines
- Inventory & pricing
- Trade-in valuation
- Underwriting decisioning
By unifying systems and automating decision flows, DashAi helps dealerships operate with greater speed, accuracy, and profitability.
This isn’t just workflow automation — it’s intelligent operating infrastructure for a historically outdated process.
Why It Matters
- The dealership office is the profit engine — but also the bottleneck
- When financing takes too long, deals fall through
- When systems are fragmented, compliance risk goes up.
- When workflows aren’t standardized, margin control disappears.
DashAi solves this by delivering:
- Standardization
- Operational clarity
- Real-time financing intelligence
- Scalable processes across locations
This is how dealerships modernize — and stay competitive.
