Webinar: David v. Goliath of scooters
Oliver Bruce talks to Joyride and Lynx’s CEOs
A David versus Goliath story is shaping up in shared micromobility.
As one country after another snapped into a state of lockdown earlier this year—effectively cratering the demand for transportation—most international scooter companies were forced to scale down to reduce cash burn.
But the Covid-19 crisis did not impact everyone in the industry equally. With lower overhead and stronger community ties, many smaller operators were able to continue offering scooter- and bike-rentals for essential trips and even grow their businesses during the pandemic. Now, as cities reopen and the competition heats back up, local and regional entrepreneurs face a test to see if they can hold onto their newly acquired market share. Join us on Thursday, June 18 at 1pm PT / 4pm ET for our next webinar, How Local Micromobility Players Are Outmaneuvering the Big Guys, to discuss. Our special guests will be Vince Cifani, CEO of micromobility software platform Joyride, and Alan Moisio, CEO of scooter operator Lynx. Together with our host Oliver Bruce, they will address how local scooter-share startups can prosper in an industry of global giants following Covid-19.
