COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SHARE Mobility, the leading provider of turnkey mobility-as-a-service for enterprise employers, announces the completion of a $12 million Series A funding round led by Iron Gate Capital and Renewal Funds. Employment Technology Fund, JobsOhio, Seamless Capital, TrendForward Capital, and Venn Ventures also participated in the round with existing investors Jumpstart, LOUD Capital, JMAC, and SustainVC.
SHARE Mobility offers the leading mobility-as-a-service platform empowering enterprise companies to seamlessly implement a new transportation program or optimize an existing one. Demand for the solution has been increasing as employers deal with a record number of open jobs and employees face rising costs of personal transportation.
"Making commuter benefits as common as healthcare will address one of the biggest problems in the economy right now - getting people back to work," said Ryan McManus, CEO of SHARE Mobility. "Coming out of the pandemic, we found an untapped opportunity to support companies across the U.S. with a transportation solution. This latest round of funding reinforces our market-leading position and will permit us to bring our mobility-as-a-service software to the 85% of U.S. companies that have never been able to address their employees' needs for transportation."
By offering reliable transportation to work, SHARE Mobility riders save an average of $5,000 per year on commuting. SHARE has expanded rapidly to 11 states and customers who are collectively planning to add over 100 additional locations this year. Further, SHARE Mobility is partnering with public transit agencies to provide safe and reliable transportation for commuters going to businesses that are poorly served by existing transit routes.
"Enterprise-scale employers are struggling to find talented employees, especially in areas with limited transportation options. SHARE's data-driven routing platform and commuter analysis tools enable employers to find and retain employees by providing safe, reliable, and professional transportation. Employees are no longer limited by public transit or expensive alternatives," said AJ Dye, Partner, Iron Gate Capital. "We're thrilled to be working with the talented team at SHARE Mobility to raise the bar for employee transportation."
"We've been super impressed with SHARE's explosive growth and the vision and tenacity of their team," said Geordan Hankinson of Renewal Funds. "SHARE solves a key pain point for employers, reduces car dependence, and helps solve a persistent challenge for public transit agencies - moving people from urban centers to jobs outside the city core. The company's social and environmental mission is a perfect fit for our fund, and we couldn't be more excited to work with Ryan and the team."
