Oonee

Oonee is a transportation company targeting the growing “micromobility” market.

This venture-backed startup has created “smart,” modular parking pods, designed to enable riders in urban areas to safely store their bikes and scooters.

• Its investors include Urban Us, a venture capital firm investing in environmentally-conscious startups, and Ryan Rzepecki, Founder of JUMP Bikes (acquired by Uber in 2018 for $200 million).

• The company has partnerships with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (its initial target market) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

• And it’s been featured in The New York Times, Bloomberg, and Time Magazine.
