Timeline
From our start as a pedicab business, Skoop has been obsessed with guiding and helping people. See our journey from a college business to a software start-up.
At the beginning of Freshman year of college, Josh Cooper was simply looking for a way to get around campus for free.The Skoop Pedi-Cab Co. was born.
It was the first fleet in the world attempting to use ad revenue from digital signage to offset the cost of rides.
In the spring of 2018, after multiple experiments with screen hardware and software, Skoop became the first company to successfully & sustainably offset the cost of short-distance transportation.
A year after launching with its first two prototypes, Skoop was ready to expand both in Michigan and beyond. With fleets in multiple locations, screen and ad management become an increasingly difficult challenge. There were no software solutions that allowed the team to control the entire network remotely. Out of this need, Skoop signage was born.
Skoop signage is used in the Skoop pedicab fleet for the first
time.

As word-of-mouth business grows, Skoop looks to expand its capabilities and successfully raises a $2M seed round.
