UrbanTech Founder John Thomey sits downs with Pete Evenson, the co-founder and COO of Swoop, a mobility startup that provides software to small transportation companies for managing their business and mobility fleets.
As reported by CNBC, Swoop recently won a contract from the NFL to provide rides at the 2022 Super Bowl in LA.
Pete shares how the startup began as a booking platform and the way they have approached tackling the ultra-competitive transportation market.
