Scoop provides a mobile carpooling platform that coordinates flexible, door-to-door commutes by matching coworkers and neighbors via iOS and Android apps. The product is designed around commute schedules and includes features such as reliable pickups, efficient routing, in-app payments, motor vehicle history checks, and a Guaranteed Ride Home. Scoop recently introduced Shortlist, which lets drivers and riders create matches beyond normal scheduling deadlines to increase reliability. The company partners with employers, office parks, and transit agencies to run fully managed programs and currently serves commuters at more than 25 corporate campuses. Scoop reports nearly 2 million individual trips and over 100,000 carpoolers, and is available in the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle with plans to expand into new U.S. cities. The new funding is intended to accelerate product, brand, and operational advancements across the business. Scoop provides managers, HR leaders, and employees with a platform to implement and benefit from flexible work without coordination and scheduling. At the core of its offering is Team Sync, an entry point that acts as a hybrid team assistant to proactively collect, summarize, and surface workplace plans. Team Sync helps teammates determine whether a trip to the office is worthwhile, while Workplace Sync captures, aggregates, and surfaces those data points for enterprises. Workplace Sync supplies dashboards that allow employers to analyze trends, identify pain points, and build workplace policies aligned with how teams use the workplace. Led by CEO Rob Sadow, the company intends to use new funding to expand operations and broaden its business reach. The company is based in San Francisco, California. Scoop, founded in 2015, operates a corporate carpooling platform that lets employees pre-schedule morning and afternoon trips and uses algorithms to create efficient carpools based on routes, detours, company preferences and favorites. The service works with customers such as LinkedIn, Workday, T-Mobile and more than 50 other companies. Scoop operates in more than 2,000 cities across six major metro areas, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Portland, Reno and Los Angeles. To date the company has facilitated 7 million carpool trips. Late last year Scoop partnered with Lyft so users can request a Lyft or view public transit options through the Scoop app. The company recently raised capital to fuel expansion and growth and has continued to broaden its service coverage and partner integrations. Scoop is a corporate carpooling service that partners with employers to schedule and match employee commutes. The app requires riders to pre-schedule morning and afternoon trips (until 9pm the night before for morning trips and 3:30pm the day of for afternoon trips) and uses algorithms to automatically create efficient carpools based on routes, detours, company preference and favorites. Scoop counts customers such as LinkedIn, Workday, T-Mobile and Symantec and is adding Oregon Health & Science University with its Portland launch. The company has facilitated more than two million carpool rides and operates in the SF Bay Area, Seattle, Reno and now Portland. Scoop recently raised $10 million and has raised $46 million in total from investors including BMW iVentures, Signia and Index Ventures. Its expansion into Portland marks its fourth market as it continues to grow its corporate customer base. Scoop provides employer-focused, pre-scheduled carpooling where employees pick acceptable departure times and the service’s algorithms auto-create efficient carpools based on routes, detours, company preferences and favorites. Trips must be scheduled by 9pm the night before for morning rides and by 3:30pm the day of for afternoon rides. The company reports the average user takes more than four trips per week and that about 40% take six or more trips weekly. Since launching in August 2015, Scoop has facilitated over 40,000 trips, offset roughly 500,000 commute miles and cut nearly 450,000 pounds of CO2. Scoop works directly with employers and city regulators and is differentiated by employer subsidies and incentives (Cisco subsidizes rides so employees pay $1; Workday, Stanford Research Park and Tesla also subsidize rides). The company currently operates in the San Francisco Bay Area and plans to expand outside the area later this year.
