Autodash Supply is a vertically integrated auto parts eCommerce platform and Ghana export corridor — backed by 185,000+ live SKUs, proven early revenue, and 15+ years of founder logistics expertise.
Founded January 3, 2020 in Claymont, Delaware. Six years of building the foundation. Multi-channel marketplace launch in 2025. Already generating revenue with 100% fulfillment rate before any significant marketing spend.
Our Accra headquarters and Spintex Road storefront are the entry point into a 400-million-person, four-country trade network. Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Lomé/Togo together form one of the world's most active used vehicle corridors — and none of it has an organized, authorized North American parts supplier.
Why Ghana as the Hub
Suspension, brake, and drivetrain parts pulled from our authorized Keystone dealer account. Container-packed for Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Ford, GM, Cadillac, BMW/Mercedes North American specs.
21–28 day transit. Cleared by First State Import & Export Ltd. Containers received at Spintex Road storefront — our owned property.
Direct retail from Spintex Road to Ghanaian mechanics, dealers, and consumers. Wholesale distribution to Ivory Coast (Abidjan) and Lomé (Togo) dealer network via road.
Lomé is the primary re-export hub into Nigeria, Mali, and Burkina Faso. 75% of Togo vehicle imports flow into Nigeria. Autodash parts move through Lomé as the final reach into the continent's largest auto market.
The data shows what a funded, multi-channel auto parts operation achieves. We founded in 2020 and relaunched across all major marketplaces in early 2025. The $5M raise compresses a 7–10 year growth curve into 18–24 months.
Margin Benchmarks by Category
Most auto parts dropshippers compete on price in a commoditized domestic market. Autodash does the opposite: authorized Keystone wholesale pricing (40–60% below MSRP) flowing into a captive West Africa market with zero authorized competition — where buyers pay full retail for genuine parts they can't source anywhere else. That's a margin stack no domestic-only competitor can replicate.
We didn't come here to pitch a concept. The supplier accounts are active. The channels are live. The corridor is operational. This raise deploys fuel into a running engine.
Pure dropship domestically via Keystone and Turn 14. No warehouse. No carrying costs. We scale catalog without capital tied in stock.
No US auto parts company has meaningfully pursued the Ghana suspension corridor. We have the entity, the property, and the supply chain ready to move.
Keystone and Turn 14 dealer accounts require vetting, credentials, and relationships. We have both. Hard barrier for any competitor to replicate.
532 direct buyer conversations from a single $1,361 Meta campaign. $2.56 cost per lead vs. an industry average of $8–$15. The demand is there.
eBay Motors, Amazon, TikTok Shop, Facebook Marketplace, and our own Shopify store — all operational and generating orders simultaneously.
US auto parts is a half-trillion-dollar market. West Africa's vehicle parts import market is growing 12%+ annually with no dominant organized supplier.
Every dollar is mapped to a specific output across four pillars: domestic eCommerce scale, West Africa retail buildout, operational working capital, and marketing. Ghana and Nigeria retail outlets are the anchor investment — the physical presence that makes the entire corridor defensible.
Projections assume $2M minimum deployment. Ghana container revenue is modeled conservatively — upside is significant once the corridor is operational.
The case for West Africa as an auto parts destination isn't anecdotal — it's backed by billions in trade data, surging luxury vehicle ownership, and a parts supply gap that no one has solved.
European and Japanese exports to Africa dominate in volume — but they're right-hand drive and metric-spec. American vehicles (Ford, Chevy, Cadillac, Dodge, Jeep) require left-hand drive, SAE-spec parts that European and Asian suppliers simply don't stock.
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Range Rover are now common on Ghana's streets. These vehicles are primarily sourced from North America — meaning their suspension, brakes, and drivetrain parts must come from North American supply chains. There is no organized solution for this in Ghana today.
Ghana's potholes, heat, dust, and rough tarmac are punishing on suspension systems. Ghanaian mechanics report shocks, struts, bushings, control arms, and brake components failing far faster than in North America — generating a continuous, repeat-purchase parts market. Cars left at workshops for months waiting for parts is a documented, widespread problem.
Keystone Automotive is North America's largest aftermarket parts distributor — but has zero authorized retail presence in Ghana, Nigeria, or Togo. Autodash Supply, through our Keystone dealer account, is positioned to be the first. That's a structural monopoly on genuine, authorized North American parts in the region.
Highest-Demand Parts Categories — Ghana Roads
First to fail on pothole-heavy roads. Replacement cycles are 2–3x faster than North America.
Critical for vehicle handling on unpaved and poorly maintained surfaces. High failure rate in luxury SUVs.
Heat, dust, and stop-start traffic in Accra accelerate brake wear across all vehicle types.
Steering components take extreme abuse on unpaved laterite roads common outside Accra's urban center.
BMW 7 Series, Mercedes GL/S-Class, and Range Rover air bags fail frequently — and genuine parts are nearly impossible to source locally.
Vibration from rough roads degrades engine mounts rapidly. Particularly acute in American V8 configurations.

We're not asking for charity — we're offering a structured return on a validated, asset-light business with two revenue engines. Here's how investor capital gets repaid and rewarded.
Projected Returns on $5M Investment
Gross margin on suspension & brake parts through authorized Keystone supply chain — significantly above industry average of 25–28%
* Industry ROIC for auto parts distribution averages 13–19% (Alpha Spread, 2025). Autodash's export premium and zero-inventory domestic model targets significantly above benchmark.
These aren't talking points. These are structural advantages that took years to build and can't be copied in a weekend.
Keystone (accounts 34611/51688) and Turn 14 (33341/51701) dealer accounts aren't handed out. They require vetting, business credentials, and track record. We have both. That's a hard gate for any new competitor.
No major US auto parts brand has built a direct supplier pipeline into Ghana. We have a registered entity (First State Import & Export Ltd), owned property on Spintex Road, active export clients, and 15+ years in the trade.
Pure dropship domestically means we scale to 185,000 SKUs without a single unit on our shelves. While competitors manage warehouses, we manage relationships and channels. Asset-light. Margin-rich.
Sampson Opoku founded Altra Cargo Inc., S&H Freight Services Inc., and Kirkwood Auto Sales Inc. Texas-Ghana trade logistics isn't a pivot — it's his entire professional life. Investors bet on people who've lived the problem.
This isn't a pivot story. It's a pattern-recognition story. Five years of watching the same expenditure never stop — and deciding to get on the right side of it.
Parts Authority is a major US auto parts distributor that fills the SKU gaps that Keystone and Turn 14 may leave. Their policy: they only sell to businesses with a verified commercial address. The DFW warehouse funded by this raise unlocks the Parts Authority account — adding a third supplier pipeline and eliminating gaps in catalog coverage. Three suppliers. One platform. No inventory gaps.
