History

edit

Moovn was founded in 2015 by Godwin N. Gabriel, a Tanzanian immigrant in the United States. Gabriel studied at the University of Washington's Foster School of Business.[1][3][4]

In 2016, Moovn had a 12-person team at its Seattle headquarters and 37 full-time employees supporting its Sub-Saharan operations.[2] In 2017 during an Uber boycott, Moovn experienced a surge in demand.[1][3] By 2018, the company had raised $2.5 million in capital, reaching up to 30,000 rides booked through the company's app per day.[5] Moovn expanded its geographical footprint and operates in seven cities across the United States, including New York City, Atlanta and San Francisco.[1][3][6][4] The company also has operations in select cities in Sub-Saharan Africa including Nairobi (Kenya) and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).[2][6][7]
