Sheprd operates an on-demand K-12 transportation service that lets parents schedule rides to and from schools, after-school programs, activities, and home through a mobile app. The company uses an owned and operated fleet of high-quality vehicles—currently Land Rover SUVs certified as 7D vehicles—and employs drivers who have completed the Massachusetts DOT 7D School Pupil Transport Vehicle certification process, including CORI/SORI checks, medical exams, and driving tests. Its technology platform includes driver and parent apps, route optimization, vehicle and driver scheduling, real-time tracking, and parent communication features to streamline child transportation. Sheprd is led by CEO and founder Nick Jasset and currently operates in Newton, MA. The company intends to use newly raised funds to expand its service footprint and further develop its proprietary technology platform, with plans to enter additional markets in 2018 and beyond. Financially, the company completed a $1M venture capital funding round reported in October 2018.
