My guest today is Su Sanni, Founder of Dollaride, a mobility company for communities underserved by public transit.

In addition, Su is also:

  • Venture Partner with Republic
  • Fellow with Visible Hands
  • Former Cofounder and CEO of WeDidIt, an online fundraising platform for nonprofits

In this episode, we talked about:

  • What a transit desert is and how it costs us billions of dollars in lost productivity annually
  • The $10M award that Dollaride won from the state of New York
  • Their solid customer traction with over 15,000 riders in just one year
  • How his solution relates to the micromobility field more broadly
  • His origin story and the inspiration for this business
  • How their business is evolving from an Uber-like tech platform to an asset-financing model to make EV purchases easier
  • The process by which they retrofit commercial vehicles from ICE to EV
  • Why it’s so important that he walks his kids to school
  • And lots more

Hope you enjoy it.
