About
Eugene Fusz, Founder and CEO
Gene Fusz is an expert in online auctions and the car business. Gene owned a dealership for 10 years prior to turning his focus to the internet and patented business models to empower consumers using online marketplaces. A serial inventor, Gene was the original inventor of systems for conducting auctions on the Internet, Patent No. 7,133,835. This patent's invention date predates all online auction sites, even 14 months before eBay’s founding. Gene has also received several patents focused on empowering consumers. Fusz monetized those patents through options, licensing and sales to a number of companies.
Gene was recently granted Patent No. 8,438,072 - the basis of the Member Car Club - for a new kind of Marketplace designed to serve as an open clearinghouse of prices, like the way the NYSE clears prices on listed securities. This assures consumers of the best price and the safety and security of a trusted transaction. Gene was born in Louisville, KY and was raised in St. Louis, MO where he attended St. Louis University. Mr. Fusz also served in the Air National Guard as a Fighter Pilot.
