THE LASSO

Renaming Company Naming

Formerly known as Revv (a diluted name already owned by many in the space), this consumer-driven car sales marketplace—now called The Lasso thanks to us—has raised nearly $10M to disrupt how cars are sold. We came on board to help evolve the brand’s name into something more unique, scalable, and ownable across future verticals like financing, repairs, and insurance. It needed to avoid cold, overly descriptive category conventions—and instead give consumers and dealers alike a name they could remember, trust, and rally around.

• The old name, Revv, had energy, but also baggage: crowded search results, pronunciation confusion, and limited trademarkability. More importantly, the category was saturated with hyper-descriptive names—Carvana, TrueCar, AutoNation—that felt impersonal and commoditized. We needed a name that broke the mold, without alienating either consumers or dealers. Enter The Lasso. A real word with suggestive richness, lasso metaphorically captured everything this platform does: it gathers a circle of trusted dealers, ropes in strong offers, and helps the seller corral the best price—on their terms. It evokes clarity and control without feeling cold or transactional. Visually, it’s round, clean, and memorable; verbally, it’s playful, warm, and easy to spell. In a space of fragmented trust and price confusion, The Lasso stands out as a brand built to bring transparency full circle.
