May 2026 to Present
Braganza Collezione
Co-Founder / CPTO
First commit May 20th, full launch September 1st: 15 weeks from an empty repository to live bookings, payments, settlement, commissions, and renter verification.
Built a fleet operations platform and multi-sided marketplace for exotic vehicle agencies, brokers, owners, and renters.
The problem
Exotic rental agencies already had booking software. What they didn't have was infrastructure connecting agencies, brokers, vehicle owners, and renters through the same transaction.
Availability was checked by phone. Rates were negotiated through messages. Broker commissions and owner payouts were reconciled manually after payments moved. Everyone touched the same booking, but nobody worked from the same system.
The approach
We built Braganza around the full transaction from the beginning rather than starting with another booking tool.
The platform supports agencies, brokers, owners, and renters as separate participants with their own workflows, financial relationships, and permissions. Agencies keep control of their customers and can use their existing payment processor while Braganza handles the marketplace, commissions, settlement, and verification around the transaction.
Result
First commit May 20th, 2026. Alpha July 6th. Beta August 3rd. Full launch September 1st. 15 weeks from an empty repository to a live multi-sided marketplace and exotic fleet operations platform.
