EVENT DETAILS
Bloomberg, Cornell Tech, & Tech:NYC invite you to join us for the latest installment of the Cornell Tech @ Bloomberg Speaker Series, featuring Daniel Ramot, Co-founder & CEO of Via, in conversation with Scarlet Fu of Bloomberg Television.

Daniel Ramot & Oren Shoval founded Via in 2012 as an on-demand, mobile-based platform to power dynamic shared rides. Inspired by the sheruts, or shared taxis, they had used in Israel, Ramot & Shoval launched Via's consumer service on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in 2013.

Today, Via operates in cites across the U.S., all five boroughs of New York City, & more than 20 countries around the world. Its offerings range from being a direct provider of rideshare services, such as in New York, to partnerships with more than 90 outside organizations & municipalities that leverage Via's technology to power their own rideshare services.

In contrast to other rideshare companies, Via sees itself as operating within the market for public transportation rather than competing with private cars & taxis. This summer, Via announced a partnership with New York City's Department of Education to launch Via for Schools. The company's software will be used to optimize the routes of the City's 10,000 school buses, providing students & parents with real-time information on their buses' whereabouts.

We hope you'll join us for this conversation, in which Ramot & Fu will discuss Via's place in the rideshare market, how Ramot's Ph.D. in neuroscience was the perfect preparation for launching the company, why it chose to partner with cities on public transportation, & where it might go next.
