Candice Xie is the co-founder and CEO of Veo, the micromobility company she started in 2017 from West Lafayette, Indiana, while still in her twenties. A finance analyst by training rather than a Silicon Valley engineer, she built Veo into the first North American shared-micromobility operator to reach unadjusted EBIT profitability - reaching roughly $52 million in revenue on about $16 million of total funding, while competitors raised billions and flamed out. Calling herself an 'anti-tech bro' CEO and the 'tortoise' of the scooter race, she designs vehicles in-house, expands one city at a time, and won the largest exclusive micromobility contract in the United States with Denver.
Som Ray is the co-founder and CEO of CLIP, a Brooklyn clean-mobility company that builds the world's first no-tools, plug-and-play device that snaps onto a regular bicycle's front wheel and turns it into an e-bike in seconds. Trained as an architect in New Delhi and New York and shaped by a stint in MIT Media Lab's Smart Cities group, Ray is a design technologist and serial entrepreneur recognized by MIT Technology Review's TR35 for an ultra-low-cost wheelchair. He started CLIP in 2018 after a steep Brooklyn hill made his bike commute miserable, and built the company around a simple idea: instead of throwing out the world's dormant bicycles, electrify them.
Veo is a Santa Monica-based shared micromobility company that designs, manufactures and operates electric scooters, e-bikes and cargo bikes for cities and university campuses across North America. Founded in 2017 by Purdue graduates Candice Xie and Edwin Tan, Veo built the industry's most diverse vehicle fleet through an in-house design team and became the first profitable shared micromobility operator in the U.S. Rather than chasing growth at any cost, Veo bet on deliberate expansion, exclusive city and campus contracts, and durable, purpose-built vehicles - a strategy that delivered unadjusted EBIT profitability in 2024 while many better-funded rivals retreated.
Lime is the world's largest shared electric vehicle company, renting dockless e-scooters and e-bikes through a single app across more than 200 cities in nearly 30 countries. Founded in 2017 as LimeBike, it pitches micromobility as the practical alternative to short car trips: cheaper, electric, and carbon-free. After surviving a brutal industry shakeout, Lime has turned cash-flow positive and filed to go public on Nasdaq under the ticker LIME.
Wayne Ting is the CEO of Lime, the world's largest shared electric vehicle company, where since 2020 he has led the green scooter-and-bike fleet from cash-burning startup to the first profitable micromobility business of its kind. A Taiwan-born Nebraska kid turned Columbia class president, Obama policy advisor, and Uber chief of staff, he has spent his career on the operational side of big consumer platforms.
Regina Clewlow is a transportation scientist turned CEO who co-founded Populus, the urban curb and mobility management platform that became the operating system for city streets - helping over 100 cities worldwide manage the explosive growth of scooters, bikes, delivery fleets, and autonomous vehicles. Armed with a PhD from MIT and deep research roots at Stanford and UC Berkeley, Clewlow bridged academia and industry to turn GPS data and curb regulations into digital intelligence for cities. Populus was acquired by IPS Group in November 2025, cementing its place as the infrastructure layer between cities and the mobility economy.
