101: Aiding the micromobility buyers journey with cofounders of Ridepanda
Ride AI - A podcast by Oliver Bruce and Horace Dediu

Categories:
This week Oliver interviews Chinmay Malaviya and Charlie Depman, cofounders of Ridepanda, about their efforts to build a better customer journey for purchasing owned micromobility. The platform is relatively new, but it hits on a very relevant need. Thanks to Reilly Brennan from Trucks VC for putting us onto them. Specifically we dig into: - Their backgrounds at Bird, Scoot and Lime and how that led them to starting this business. - The core customer needs that they’re trying to solve - The importance of trusted reviews and reliable servicing for customers - What matters to customers, and why brand is far further down the list than expected - What early traction they’re seeing - How COVID 19 has impacted the buyers guide - Their fundraising journey and what they’re seeing for Micromobility related startups in general.
