Start-Up Spotlight

Shared mobility has taken great strides in recent years, with start-ups pushing the bounds of already innovative modes, such as dockless bikesharing, free-floating carsharing, and Mobility-as-a-Service. The 2018 National Shared Mobility Summit is pleased to announce the “Start-Up Spotlight,” which will both highlight some of the most innovative and promising young companies, and offer a chance for start-ups, experts, and agencies to synergistically interact.

The program will include these new features:

  • Pitch event (March 12), which will expose start-ups and agencies, experts, and funders to each other through a round robin of brief pitches.
  • Start-Up Zone within the 2018 Shared Mobility Summit Expo (March 13-14) with special branding to offer a one-stop shop for conference-goers.
  • “Ones to Watch” Summit Award to offer high profile, valuable exposure to select start-ups.

We think this is a great chance for everyone to learn about what’s coming, and perhaps get involved to help bring these ideas to life. The call to participate for aspiring start-ups is now open.

Start-Ups

If you are a young company (less than 3 years old and/or $50,000 Monthly recurring Revenue) that provides a service or builds a product (or has an idea) that can be used within the Shared Mobility industry, please consider applying to the 2018 Start-Up Spotlight. We will be looking for 8 – 10 Start-Ups, who will receive free conference registration for 2 team members and a place in the program, including the pitch event and the Start-UP Zone.
