A study with Brazilian startups showed that companies that create urban mobility solutions are among the fastest growing in Brazil.
The problem with pizzeria owner Antônio Carvalho Pires de Lima is to buy the ingredients for 55 types of pizza on the menu. “We do 28 quotes with 28 suppliers per day. It's a lot, ”he says.
The solution became a business idea for entrepreneur Leonardo Almeida. "We connect all of these producers and distributors who somehow offer these products to these merchants, facilitating the quote, credit taking and delivery process as well."
Business like this is growing in Brazil. This is shown by the study of an accelerator - who works to help the growth of innovative companies - startups.
Urban mobility inspires entrepreneurs
If the business is about people and things moving from one point to another, then the company is an Autotech - the definition of startups that bring innovative solutions to the automotive, logistics, transport and mobility sectors. Large Brazilian cities are full of such problems. That is why they have inspired so many entrepreneurs.
To improve congestion: ride. For trucks that take the road full and return empty, cargo sharing. For carriers with stationary cars, fleet management. Each company brought a different innovation. Leonardo already has 400 customers. And to think that at the beginning of last year, he only had the prototype of an idea. In ten months, it achieved R$ 1 million investment.
“Urban mobility is a big problem today and when we manage to reduce the number of vehicles on the streets, optimize the delivery process, make companies work more efficiently, reducing costs and increasing the quality of the services presented, I have no doubt that this will attract the attention of companies and investors ”, explains Leonardo.
For the director of Liga Ventures Rogério Tamassia, 50% of these solutions have appeared in the last two years. “So this is just the beginning. A lot of good stuff is coming. You have money for that kind of initiative. Everyone knows that mobility and transportation is a problem that needs to be solved. And where there is a real problem, investors put money. ”
