Es una aplicación que permite a las personas compartir transporte con gente de su mismo centro de trabajo sin haberse conocido de forma previa. Los usuarios pueden tomar el rol de conductor o de pasajero, en donde el pasajero buscará a conductores con rutas similares y podrán separar un asiento pagando un precio fijado por el conductor. Es una forma de poder cuidar el ambiente al usar de forma efectiva los automóviles para que transporten a más personas. Además que habrá menos tráfico porque menos personas se están transportando en autos ocupados por una sola persona.

Valhalla Private Capital, a full-service corporate finance firm, started with a single city angel investor group, Valhalla Angels, in 2003 and has grown organically to meet the entire lifecycle needs of both businesses and investors across the globe. The Valhalla mission is all about inviting all people who care about their local business climate into the private capital ecosystem, giving them the tools and opportunities to participate successfully in both investing or building some great companies. At Valhalla, we believe a more sophisticated approach exists through our full suite of capital options coupled with education, training and advisory services operating under a five-pillar business model, where Valhalla Angels represents a key business pillar, angel investing.
