Kontext

We started to see some trips happening every day. And it was organically just growing and, and becoming quite viral because the baseline was so bad. So people are just used to having this horrible experience, and the moment experienced, uh, a new way to order a ride—you just tap a button, a car shows up—it was so great.

Kontext

So we took a seat. We pitched him on why Bolt is a fantastic product and why he should adopt it at his company. Clearly the meeting wasn’t going anywhere. But I think that really brought home the lesson that it’s much easier for us to, uh, not try to work with these dinosaurs and bring these taxi companies to the future, but rather let’s start to work directly with the drivers.

After actually just a couple of weeks of this analysis, all the African cities actually turned out to be the top of the list: large population, massive need for alternatives in terms of transportation and very high unemployment.
