Salary benchmarks
Our take
Forest is an e-bike service company that was launched in London in 2020. The company is committed to protecting the planet, which is why it has created e-bikes that emit zero greenhouse gases and are powered by renewable energy.
The company differentiates itself through its business model - the company allows users to use a green e-bike for 10 minutes for free every day (the free ride is supported by ads shown via the HumanForest app).
Forest partnered with the likes of Deliveroo, Financial Times and Whole Foods Market and has enjoyed several funding rounds led by Triodos Bank UK. It's in a good position to become the industry leader in the sustainable micro-mobility sector.
