Smart dismantling
Turning salvage and wrecking into a data business. Computer vision, auction intelligence and yard systems that price a part before the ute is even unloaded.

If it has wheels
If it has wheels
and tech, we're in.
HyperDrive backs automotive-aligned businesses where technology creates leverage. From smart dismantling to fleet platforms and asset rentals, we invest in ventures that move fast, think bigger and stay on the road.
The thesis
What we back
One filter: wheels and tech. We look for automotive ventures where software, AI and sharp systems turn a hard, hands-on industry into an unfair advantage.
Fleet platforms
Software that keeps vehicles earning. Tracking, utilisation and uptime for the businesses that run on wheels, built to scale without the spreadsheet sprawl.
Asset rentals
Putting idle metal to work. Rental and access models that turn vehicles and equipment into recurring revenue, with the systems to manage it cleanly.
We have run the yards and built the platforms. We back founders the same way we would back ourselves: capital, operating know-how, and the muscle to actually ship.
Portfolio

gearswap.ai · The operating system for wrecking yards
GearSwap Auction Intelligence reads a salvage listing the way a seasoned buyer would. Its proprietary AI Visual Analysis maps damage across 21 zones, cross-checks live auction data from Pickles, IAAI and Manheim, and returns a statutory, repairable or valuation call in seconds. Buyers bid on numbers, not gut feel, and yards run inventory, point of sale and multi-channel selling from one place.
