RideScout was founded by two Army veterans turned technology entrepreneurs. The idea for RideScout came about when CEO Joseph Kopser was living in Arlington, Virginia and commuting just five miles down the road to the Pentagon. He wanted a tool to show him the best way to get to work depending on his circumstances and time of day. Joseph searched and searched, but found nothing. That’s when he decided to take matters into his own hands and, with some convincing from co-founder Craig Cummings, RideScout’s journey began.
RideScout introduced its alpha product at SXSW 2013 and completed its first full-scale city launch in Washington, DC November 2013. The company is expanding in 2014.
