The app is available on iOS, Android and web and has begun integrating with select vehicle OEMs. Founded in 2015 by CEO Stefanie Lemcke, the company serves users in 650 cities across 25 countries. GoKid is an alumnus of Techstars Mobility and has been backed by Fontinalis Partners, Jaguar Land Rover’s InMotion Ventures and Deutsche Bahn. In June 2018 it raised $1.5M in equity funding; backers for this round included VilCap Investments (affiliated with Village Capital).
