Our Team

Mount's team is made up of mobility and hospitality experts who launched thousands of vehicles while working at Jump and realized the shortcomings of large fleets. We decided to bring asset management to hospitality. Our brand isn't just electric scooters. We encourage exploration to local shops and bring out the adventurer within our riders.

Pitch

Mount is the amenity management company for all private real estate companies. We are starting with scooters and e-bikes but plan to open up our services to all amenities - Kayaks, bikes, paddleboards, golf carts, and golf clubs. We can track, manage and monetize these amenities. 

To demonstrate the current booking process: Travelers will use a booking platform to book their stay. They don’t have the option to add on any extras like a bike rental, boat rental, or airport pickup. They are only paying for their nightly stay. Then, once booked, they start doing outside research and find their own bike to rent, local tour, and chef. They pay out of pocket for these. If the host had curated these experiences they could upsell them but as of right now they don't and are missing out on a lot of revenue. 

Mount's app allows Airbnb hosts to track their scooters/bikes, see where they are being ridden and how much money each scooter/bike is making. Mount's front-facing app allows guests to see what amenities they can rent, for how much and how to rent them. The guest signed a terms and conditions sheet through the app and can start their rental.  

The platform can be connected to any IoT device and can bring any asset online. We also curated a custom insurance policy for these types of amenity rentals. This is something a host can't get because it is too expensive and not worth only having for 4 scooters/bikes. 

Mount is starting with the Airbnb industry because it has a short sales cycle and easy product adoption. We don't want to stop there. Our platform is industry agnostic and asset agnostic. We can take assets/amenities from any type of private property, bring them online, and then the property owner can manage and monetize them. It is essentially automating the rental shack you find on the beach and placing it directly on the property. 

Mount’s team is what makes us unique. We have industry experts from Jump, Lime, Uber and Lyft and within the founding team Matt, our COO, oversaw a 500 unit bike fleet in Denver where he helped run daily operations.

We also have a board of advisors with executives and industry experts from Hostfully, Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, Jump and Lime

Our business model revolves around our SaaS platform. We charge $80 a month per asset on our platform and take 10% of the rental revenue. Every property owner that works with us can either purchase scooters and bikes facilitated through Mount (allow we never purchase the assets) or if they already have the bikes and scooters we can bring them online to our platform by adding on our IoT device. 

Our strategy is to target Airbnb Hosts. At first glance you might think it would be hard to find these individuals but they all live on Facebook in groups by region. Airbnb created this unique community where hosts love learning from each other. That makes our sales cycle easy. We sell to one host in one region and they sell to every other host in that region. 

Mount’s been live since February launching in Phoenix and then launching Denver and Miami in March. We’ve grown a substantial waitlist that consists of over 500 scooters in 15 different states. 


We don't want to just be an operator. It is a great starting point but with our proprietary tech, we can become a fleet manager of all hospitality assets - golf carts, surf boards, bikes, scooters, cars.


Let's supercharge Mount's growth together. We have the customers in place, the operations ready and now just need the capital to start scaling and getting our product out. 

Our biggest differentiator is our fleet size of 2-4 scooters. We also have Mount’s smart lock that collects and reports data analytics about the scooter. This is proprietary to Mount and what makes us able to streamline operations and makes our fleets 90% efficient than a larger fleet.  We don’t need a warehouse, gig-economy employees, charging infrastructure or government approval. All of the large costs associated with a large fleet don’t exist in a micro fleet.
