Our Team

We're here to change the way we move. Our dependency on cars, CO2 emissions, and traffic issues all motivated us to create this company. So we sprinkled some Captain Planet + Iron Man fairy dust to create a platform that is convenient & provides a magical experience unlike anything else.

"SunVessel will transform the way we travel around our county.” - Miami-Dade County Mayor, the Hon. Carlos A. Gimenez

First, we built a world class team

When you invest in SunVessel you are investing in a team dedicated to changing the way we move.

We are a diverse group of entrepreneurs, designers, and engineers from MIT, FIU, Northwestern University, the University of Michigan and Babson College with decades of experience building world class software and hardware experiences at leading companies such as BBDO, CAE, Carnival Cruise Lines, Ford Motor Company, GE Digital,  JWT, Watsco, Motorola, Microsoft, Sony, Hilton, Samsung, Wyndham, P&G, Yamaha, Perkins + Will, Innovative Group, MONAD Studios, & DiGiorgio Associates and Florida’s National Guard.

Our founder formerly cofounded Cafe X, a robotic coffee-bar backed by Peter Thiel, Khosla Ventures, Social Capital, Craft Ventures, and Valor Equity Partners. 

Now we are all channeling our passion, experience, and brainpower to create the ultimate next-gen transportation experience.

Then, we built something people love

We wanted to build a futuristic last mile mobility experience so we studied the market for years, interviewed countless of users, and worked hand in hand with local officials to ultimately put a twist on what personal mobility should be.

...people, cities, and news outlets noticed the difference 

Pitch competitions quickly became our proving grounds where we won every single event we participated in. Government officials appreciated how we created an organized and beautiful shared transportation solution awarding SunVessel with the keys to Miami-Dade county in 2018. We even made it to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange! The media also noticed we were doing some different and wanted to tell our story, even calling us the next "Henry Ford..." 

Here's how we beat 100 startups at Synapse's 2019 Pitch Madness competition:

Now users can't get enough of us

On June 10th, 2019 our SunVessels rolled out at our first location and we quickly became the de facto way people move.

I love SunVessel! Having a fun and easily accessible mobility option at the ground floor of my office enhanced my experience at work! If you haven’t tried SunVessel, you are missing an opportunity to unleash your inner God and experience mobility that reacts to your thoughts and feels fluid and natural.

Being on this side of town almost all of my meetings are along Brickell Avenue. With little time between meetings throughout the day, I have found a lot of value in being able to count on SunVessel to get me to those meetings in a fraction of the time that it would other wise take me. This is really the best last mile mobility experience I have tried.

In total, we've had hundreds of rides, innumerable smiles on the street from curious bystander, and multiple interested parties asking how they can also have SunVessel at their property.
