Mobility Meets VC: Transportation Reinvented

Friday, March 11
5:00PM - 6:00PM

Hilton Austin Downtown
Salon B
500 E 4th St

For nearly 100 years, transportation systems as we know them remained largely unchanged. However, we are now undergoing a global paradigm shift as the world becomes increasingly urbanized, resources and infrastructure remain constrained, and shared mobility replaces traditional ownership models. In the face of these changes, new technologies (e.g., ride sharing, on-demand services, etc.) are emerging to reduce the existing frictions in the movement of goods, people, and services. The opportunity is apparent, and this discussion seeks to discuss the launch, funding, and scaling of these mobility companies—all while successfully navigating the challenges that emerge in this market.
