Yossi Joe Levi

I’m the founder and CEO of Car Dealership Guy and CDG Companies, a group of brands built to help car dealers learn, grow, and connect so they can thrive in a rapidly changing auto industry.CDG Companies brings together media, community, recruiting, content, and live experiences—anchored by the industry’s leading media brand, Car Dealership Guy—to help dealers build stronger businesses.My journey started at 14 on my dad’s used car lot in Philly, where I learned the business the old-school way — washing cars, closing deals, and realizing how badly this industry needed transparency. In 2018, I launched Gettacar, an online auto retailer backed by $50M+ from investors like 3L Capital, Luxor Capital, Headline, and Torch, scaling to $80M in annual sales.Fast forward to today, CDG Companies engages more than 55,000 dealers and industry executives daily through its platforms, reaching over 30 million impressions each month. Nearly 98.5% of the top 150 dealer groups subscribe to CDG’s media, making it one of the most widely followed sources in automotive retail. Bill Ackman has called it “the place to find out everything that’s going on with car dealerships” — a sentiment echoed by industry leaders and top dealers nationwide.And that’s the foundation for what we’re building: the go-to platform for auto retail — where the smartest people come to stay informed, build stronger businesses, and move the industry forward.I’ve been recognized as EY Entrepreneur of the Year and one of Goldman Sachs’ Top 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs.Anyway — that's enough about me. Shoot me a note and let's connect.
