Abu Zar Talib — Co-Founder
Dealerships, tire & repair chains still lose business every time a customer hears a busy tone, and we're closing that gap. I’m Abu Zar, an engineer-turned-founder now working on GTM at ShortLoop (YC W23). Our voice-AI agent handles calls and actions, so techs can stay on the floor. Before ShortLoop I worked on satellites, drones, advised non-profits, scouted deep-tech deals, and co-founded a climate-data start-up. That blend now contributes to our work in the States: mapping tire-shops and ensuring they never miss a customer again. Wonder what missed calls are costing your bays? DM me and I’ll run the quick audit.
