Imagine having to commute 5-6 hours a day using unregulated, unscheduled and unreliable transportation methods. Well this is the reality for approximately 4 billion people across the "Majority World" who rely on and use these "informal transportation networks" daily. WhereIsMyTransport is an award winning company on a mission to transform these networks through data and digital tools. They have already deployed their services in 39 countries and having recently completed a Series A funding round of $7.5 million dollars with investors that include Google, they are now expanding to even more cities. Their mission is daunting to put it mildly. Lee Sankey speaks to founder Devin de Vries and Julian Hirst about the inspiration behind WhereIsMyTransport and their unique perspectives on optimism having worked in so many countries.
