Software Engineering Identity & Orgs III Job Available in Canada

ACV Auctions, founded in 2014 by Dan Magnuszewski, Joseph Neiman and Jack Greco, is a Buffalo-based company that has transformed the wholesale automotive auction industry by providing a live, dealer-only marketplace.

In 2015, the company gained significant recognition by winning the 43North business plan competition, securing a $1 million investment.

This achievement propelled ACV Auctions to expand its digital platform, facilitating real-time transactions for used vehicles.

In 2016, George Chamoun, an early angel investor, joined ACV Auctions as CEO, bringing a wealth of experience from his previous venture, Synacor.

Under his leadership, the company experienced rapid growth, achieving a $1.5 billion valuation in 2019, making it Buffalo’s first tech unicorn.

ACV Auctions continued to attract substantial investments, including a $55 million equity round in late 2020 led by Durable Capital Partners LP.

In March 2021, ACV Auctions went public on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol ACVA, raising approximately $414 million through its initial public offering.

As of December 2024, the company boasts a market capitalization of $3.67 billion and reported trailing twelve-month revenue of $596 million.

With a workforce of over 2,170 employees, ACV Auctions continues to leverage data and technology to enhance its digital marketplace, enabling dealers and commercial partners to buy, sell and value vehicles with increased confidence and efficiency.
