While EV makers fight over screens and speakers, Sheeva.ai is building the invisible plumbing for the next trillion-dollar economy: in-vehicle commerce. Their bet? That you'll soon pay for fuel, parking, and tolls directly through your car's dashboard—no phone required.

"Sheeva isn't selling software—they're selling a frictionless moment. The moment you drive past a pump and your tank fills up automatically."

The leadership team is a blend of tech and auto expertise: Founder & CEO Evgeny Klochikhin, CTO Lokesh Kumar, and VP of Software Engineering Virochan Dev. But the real signal is Trevor Curwin (Director, Strategic Partnerships) and Adam Rouls (CRO). This isn't a team just building code—they're building a commercial ecosystem. The lack of public funding data suggests they may be bootstrapped or holding undisclosed rounds, a risky but potentially rewarding path in a capital-intensive hardware-adjacent space.

• **Niche Dominance:** They own a specific, high-intent moment—fueling and convenience payments—where friction is highest and value is clearest.
• **API Simplicity:** The 'one-touch' promise is their killer feature. In an industry of complex SDKs, a simple global API is a wedge.
• **Partner-Led Growth:** Traffic and leadership focus on partnerships (OEMs, fuel networks) signal a land-and-expand strategy, not direct-to-consumer.
