About Us
Our History
How DriveOffer started
Before there was a DriveOffer, there was Samir Osman buying cars. In five years of wholesaling out of Edmonton he bought more than 3,000 of them, one seller at a time, and kept seeing how hard the process was on the people selling: listings that went nowhere, buyers who did not show up, and offers thousands of dollars below what a car was really worth.
DriveOffer is what came of that. Samir teamed up with Joshua Scurlock and Aaron Scurlock: Samir knows what a car is actually worth, Joshua built the technology behind every offer, and Aaron brought the data science that checks the number is fair. Today 6 technicians cover Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, and one comes to you, often the same day.
The DriveOffer team
Samir Osman
Co‑Founder & AMVIC‑Licensed Wholesaler
AMVIC licence B2036941
Over the past five years Samir has bought more than 3,000 cars directly from the public, across Edmonton and surrounding Alberta. That volume gives him a direct read on what a car is actually worth.
Joshua Scurlock
Co‑Founder & CTO
Joshua built the platform DriveOffer runs on: the offer flow, the VIN lookup and live market pricing behind every quote, and the system that carries a sale through to payment. He has four years of experience building AI systems.
Hasan Tayem
Field Operations Manager
Hasan buys vehicles, coordinates the drivers who handle pickups and drop-offs, and steps in when a customer has something to resolve. He has spent about three years in the car business and bought roughly 500 vehicles.
Aaron Scurlock
Data Scientist
M.S. Statistics, Stanford University
Aaron holds three master's degrees from Stanford and has spent two decades in federal data science. At DriveOffer he keeps the numbers straight: what the pricing data actually says, and what the results actually show.
