About

CarMax, Inc. is a Richmond, Virginia-based used car retailer — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: KMX) as an S&P 500 component — operating as the largest used vehicle retailer in the United States with 250 stores across 109 television markets, 30,000+ associates, and fiscal year 2025 revenue of $26.37 billion (fiscal year ended February 28, 2025). Founded in 1993 as a Circuit City subsidiary in Richmond, CarMax pioneered no-haggle pricing and quality inspections in the used car market, introducing a consumer-friendly alternative to high-pressure dealership tactics. CarMax acquired Edmunds (consumer automotive research) for $404 million in 2021, enhancing digital capabilities and cross-platform vehicle discovery. In late 2025, CarMax announced significant leadership changes: CEO Bill Nash stepped down effective December 1, 2025 after nearly nine years, with Board member David McCreight named Interim President and CEO and former CEO Tom Folliard appointed Interim Executive Chair. The leadership transition came alongside a preliminary Q3 FY2026 outlook showing comparable store used unit sales declining 8-12% amid a soft used car market.

About

Oda Studio is a United States-based AI-powered interior design platform — backed by Y Combinator (W20) — providing homebuyers, renters, and design enthusiasts with AI tools to discover their personal design aesthetic, visualize how spaces would look with different furniture and décor, and find matching products from online retailers. Users select style preferences (mid-century modern, bohemian, minimalist, coastal) and color palettes (navy, salmon, olive, beige) and receive AI-generated moodboards and room transformation visuals in seconds — with the platform linking out to purchasable products that match the visualized design. Founded in 2020 and enhanced with more sophisticated AI algorithms in 2024-2025, Oda Studio serves the design discovery and product-matching need that exists in the early stages of home decorating before interior designers are typically engaged.
