Sydney-based GoFar, which released their Kickstarter campaign on Monday, was able to reach their funding goal within 48 hours. GoFar makes every car a "smart car", providing any driver with real-time feedback to help them reduce fuel consumption, cut emissions, improve safety on the road, and cut time in traffic.
GoFar, and Co-Founder Danny Adams, is a Graduate of the Spring 2013 Sydney Founder Institute. In addition, the company has raised $400,000 from notable investors like the Sydney Seed Fund.

Cars are an essential part of our lives but, with one billion of them on the road, they are taking their toll. While we often look for large scale solutions, it’s easy to neglect the fact that simply changing driver behavior can have an immense positive impact on the environment, traffic and the entire driving experience.
Car costs are often a mystery - and so most people drive as though it’s free. GoFar makes these costs clear and shows you how to reduce them as you drive. Cutting fuel use is a win win for your pocket and the environment.” - Danny Adams, Co-Founder of GoFar
The GoFar team has a unique team to solve this meaningful problem; including an aerospace engineer who was selected as one of two Australians to attend NASA space camp, a genius who got the second highest score in India’s national Maths Olympiad, an Oxford graduate and INSEAD MBA, a lawyer who came in the top 0.01% in the country in her year, and a design guru who also has a 1st in Mechatronic Engineering and a master of the 7 continents who doubles in design thinking.
In addition, the company has been featured across a variety of major publications such as TechWorld, Financial Review, Business Today, and GeekTime.
