Cities around the globe are
complex and face severe challenges of congestion, emission and safety of
mobility. Despite those challenges, new technologies allow to overcome
traditional limitations of public transport and to provide convenient
and sustainable transportation.
We envision a world beyond cars.
We believe that when public transport and other mobility alternatives
efficiently meet citizens’ demands, private cars will no longer be a
desirable alternative.
How? We are building the most powerful
*integrated mobility platform*. We’re reinventing public transport with
the best On-Demand Ridepool solution. We enable cities to introduce new
mobility solutions in order to replace private cars.
We're an
impact-driven team, based in Berlin, with backgrounds in transport,
startups, apps, design, investing and academia. We're motivated by
solving hard fundamental everyday problems that improve the quality of
people's lives. We like simplifying complexity, reinventing user
experience, working with data, and making cities a place we love to live
in. We're backed by top investors, won many awards, are a member of
World Economic Forum and have been ranked as #8 Top Startup-Employer by
LinkedIn.
