Beam Mobility
The Singapore startup that turned the shared e-scooter into a negotiation with city hall - and is now merging its way to more than 100 cities.
Joyride
Joyride is a Toronto-based mobility software company that gives operators, cities, dealers and OEMs a white-label platform to launch and run shared and rental fleets of e-bikes, e-scooters, golf carts, low-speed vehicles and other lightweight vehicles. Its hardware-agnostic system turns vehicles into connected, keyless and trackable assets, pairing branded rider apps with a fleet-management dashboard, IoT connectivity, payments and increasingly AI-driven operations tools. Founded in 2014 and backed by Yamaha Motor, Joyride powers fleets across 250+ markets on five continents.
TULU
TULU is a proptech company that turns underused lobby and common space in apartment and student-housing buildings into 24/7 on-demand rental hubs. Through IoT-based units and a mobile app, residents can rent or buy brand-name products - from vacuums and e-scooters to VR headsets and household consumables - without owning them. Founded out of MIT's DesignX by Yishai Lehavi and Yael Shemer, the company pairs physical smart units with an AI layer that personalizes inventory per building, and it has served more than 500,000 residents across dozens of cities in North America and Europe.
CLIP
CLIP is a Brooklyn-based clean mobility company that makes a portable, tool-free device that clips onto a regular bicycle's front fork and turns it into an e-bike in seconds. Founded in 2018 by Som Ray and Clement de Alcala, the friction-drive motor weighs under 10 pounds, fits in a backpack, and provides pedal assistance up to 15 mph - positioning itself as a far cheaper, lighter alternative to buying a full e-bike. The company sells to consumers starting at $499 and is pushing a lower-cost model, BOLT, aimed at bike-share fleets and emerging markets.
Fleet
Fleet is a San Francisco-based commuter benefits management platform that helps employers set up, run, and stay compliant with pre-tax and subsidized transportation programs. It manages all mobility spend in one place - pre-tax transit and parking, employer subsidies, government grants, and rewards - across transit, parking, bikes, e-bikes, scooters, rideshare, and vanpools. By integrating with 180+ HR and payroll systems, Fleet lets HR teams roll out commuter benefits quickly, meet local mandates in cities like NYC, LA, and the Bay Area, and nudge employees toward lower-carbon commutes.
Populus
Populus is a San Francisco-based mobility intelligence platform that helps over 100 cities digitize, manage, and monetize their streets, curbs, and shared mobility fleets - from scooters and e-bikes to delivery vans and ride-hail vehicles.
Veo
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
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.
