What is Self Inspection?
Self Inspection is AI vehicle inspection software. Using a smartphone camera, the platform assesses vehicle damage, generates repair cost estimates, and produces detailed inspection reports. That lets businesses replace or supplement in-person inspections with a guided self-service capture flow.
The company sells to enterprises that handle large numbers of vehicles, including rental fleets, automotive finance companies, auctions, marketplaces, and corporate vehicle lessors. According to TechCrunch, Self Inspection has completed more than 1 million vehicle inspections and says it has delivered $80 million in customer cost reductions and saved more than 300,000 operational hours.
Self Inspection was founded in 2021 and is based in San Diego, California, with Constantine Yaremtso as CEO.
In July 2026 the company announced a $10 million investment led by Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners, Sheryl Sandberg's family office, with DVx Ventures, U.S. AutoForce, Westlake Financial, Costanoa Ventures, Rebellion Ventures, and BrightCap Ventures participating.
