Problem
Car enthusiasts lack a centralized, durable way to document their builds and preserve the provenance of their vehicles. Information is often scattered across social media threads, forums, and paper records, making it difficult to track a car's history or share its story authentically. This fragmentation also makes it hard for the community to discover builds and connect over shared interests.
Solution
Buildboard offers a dedicated digital archive for the automotive community, providing a centralized place to document builds, track provenance, and preserve the stories behind each vehicle. The platform enables users to capture and organize their build history in one persistent location, ensuring that important details are not lost over time. Buildboard also facilitates discovery and connection by allowing users to find events, explore other builds, and engage with a community that values craft and authenticity. The platform includes a living map of clubs, shops, dealers, and gatherings, helping users locate relevant automotive resources wherever they are. By focusing on long-term preservation, the service helps surface the narratives of both new and decades-long projects.
