I have been following Upway from Day 1. It's an amazing startup, with strong individuals, and backed by strong VC funds (Upway has the backing of institutional investors like Sequoia Capital, which led the startup’s 30m$ fundraise in Series B)
They are going extremely fast: Launched 5 countries in less than 15 months (US included). This is a real Ops-oriented startup, with a strong impact on the way people are moving.
