Jared Kugel

CEO

Jared Kugel, a Long Island native, grew up immersed in the tire industry, spending 13 years working in his family’s business. In 2017, he left to pursue a bold vision, pitching his idea to a stranger on LinkedIn who became his first investor within a week. Despite financial hardships, nearly becoming homeless, and multiple business pivots, Jared raised over $10M in investment and transformed Tire Agent into a leading online retailer. Twice named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in the U.S., Tire Agent has sold nearly 2M tires since 2020, redefining affordability for everyday Americans.
