Company mission

To make shared mobility sustainable and cities more liveable.

Our take

Micromobility has seen a boom in recent years - rental bikes, e-bikes and scooters now line the street of cities worldwide. But for many of these companies, operating in multiple cities or even countries can be a nightmare of different laws, markets and local zoning regulations to digest. That’s where Zoba comes in, with its AI management platform for micromobility companies.

Zoba collates company data with localized data focusing on the city of operation - traffic flows, and weather forecasting from tomorrow.io - to create precise, minute-to-minute market predictions to optimize operations. It promises to increase ridership by half, productivity by 20% and increase regulatory compliance as well.

It’s a strong business model, which has generated considerable buzz and support. Its heavy AI and data focus marks it out from other management softwares, and its fundraising is being put towards expanding into new markets worldwide, as well to new spaces like delivery and even autonomous vehicles ride-hailing.
