One of Collaborate’s business units, namely DriveMyCar, released an update on 29th May, 2018, wherein it announced that it had signed an agreement with major parking entities in Melbourne.
The objective is to expand services in the city and provide RACV members with parking benefits at the airport courtesy Busy Beaver.
Subsequent to this agreement, Collaborate will operate under the name RACV DriveMyCar and provide customers with pick-up and drop facilities to and from Tullamarine airport. Interested
customers will be able to avail the facilities from Busy Beaver Parking Area 24/7/365, starting June 2018 through DriveMyCar and RACV channels. Provision is also being made to provide a
6-minute shuttle service to and from the Tullamarine airport free of charge.
RACV DriveMyCar also plans to offer its members the facility of managing their vehicles and providing them with an extra income in case it might be lying idle. There are times when vehicles are not used as much as they should be owing to the owners being away on extended vacations or working elsewhere. In such a situation DriveMyCar would put the vehicle under its
ManageMyCar service wherein every aspect from rental handover to storage and maintenance of the vehicle would be taken care of.
CEO of Collaborate, Chris Noone, commented that this association with Busy Beaver and RACV was expected to boost Collaborate’s efforts to strengthen its foundation in the vehicle
supply-and-demand sector. He expressed hope that this would ensure ongoing growth for the company and enable it to serve the Victorian market in a better and more comprehensive manner.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds
While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses.

The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
