- Technology
This week Oliver interviews Henri Moissinac and Maxim Romain, co-founders of Dott. Dott are interesting - they’ve done things differently since they launched, kept their head down and stayed relatively unknown in wider micromobility circles. That is until they won the tender for Paris and Lyon recently, and asserted themselves as a player to really be taken seriously in the Pan-European micromobility landscape.
In this interview they talk about:
- The origins of Dott, and Roman and Henri’s history together at Ofo
- The landscape to date for both funding and city tenders, and why Dott’s slow and steady approach has really helped them develop into a profitable business.
- Their plans for an Ebike, and how they’re thinking about hardware in general
- The importance of operational excellence, having internal employees and systems for learning.
- Why they have pursued a largely large-city-only approach
- What factors contribute to successful city permits
- Henri makes an impassioned argument for why Micromobility’s success is inevitable
- Bonus - Henri talks about his experience at the Micromobility Conference in Berlin and how it felt to him like the early days of mobile
