WhereIsMyTransport Series-A

This is the WhereIsMyTransport pitch deck to raise a $7.5m series-a round in 2020.

About

WhereIsMyTransport is a leading mobility technology company and central source of complete public transport data for emerging-market megacities. Working on the ground in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Europe and South and Southeast Asia, we digitalise network information from all modes of public transport and maintain data accuracy as these dynamic systems change. Our products and data services improve the public transport experience and inform industry-leading clients.

WhereIsMyTransport, the London-based urban mobility startup, has just announced plans to map 30 of the world’s largest cities by 2023.

The startup collects local transport data in developing nations where public transport varies from unreliable to non-existent. Many people in these areas depend on private taxi services or friends and relatives to get around — WhereIsMyTransport works with both local authorities and enterprises to standardize and map local transport routes, making them more accessible.

Most recently, WhereIsMyTransport mapped, and now maintains datasets for, public transport networks in Mexico City, Dhaka, and the province of Gauteng in South Africa.

These metro areas have a combined population of more than 55 million. The company will collect public transport data in the remaining 27 cities, of which 19 are megacities with populations of more than 10 million.

Impressed with the team’s decade-in-the-making endeavor, venture partners at both Google and Toyota Tsusho Corporation approached WhereIsMyTransport last year, and ultimately contributed to the firm’s $7.5 million Series A funding round.

In a recent interview with Business Insider, founder Devin de Vries explained what it was like to have such big-name investors on board: “I mean, obviously it feels different, right? There’s this sense that the stakes are shifted in some way.

“But at the same time, I also firmly believe in sticking to your knitting. So whether it’s a massive company like Google or a much smaller company, we know what we do: We know our value proposition, and we know where we can really make a difference.

“At the end of the day, it comes down to an alignment of vision, and we were lucky to find that with both Google and Toyota Tsusho Corporation.”
