Jayride Group is a Sydney, Australia-based Internet company that operates Jayride.com, an online marketplace for travellers to compare the shared airport shuttle and private transfer companies.[1][2][3][4][5]

History[edit]

The founders Rod Bishop and Ross Lin[6][7][8] launched Jayride.com in January 2012 as a marketplace for ground transport to offer shared airport shuttle and private transfer companies.[9][10] In the initial year, the founders spent time organising transport data and developing a transport schema for the website.[11][12] They partnered with Travel brands and travel agents by selling transfers by integrating their platform on Jayride.com's API.[13][14][15]

The company won the 2013 Seedstars World Sydney business pitching contest and received the title of Best Startup Business in Sydney.[16] Later in the year booking systems were added, allowing travellers to pre-book private transfers and shared shuttles at fixed prices, with other modes of transport removed from the site.[17][18] After Australia and New Zealand, the company expanded its operation in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and in 2015 they further expanded their business in the United States.[19][20][21][22][23]

The company was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as JAY on January 29, 2018.[24][25]

Funding[edit]

In January 2017, Jayride raised $1.5 million to build a global marketplace for airport shuttles and flight passenger transfers.[26][27][28] It brought the total funding to $5 million.[29] Later in the year, the company raised $8 million in funding for expansion in the United States.[30][31][32]

In March 2019, Jayride announced that it has secured a finance of a $3M from Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd.[33]
