Founder
A founder who recognizes that Uber and Lyft don't serve the needs of all customer groups
Nelson Nigel's story is one of resilience, ingenuity, and a relentless drive to solve real-world problems. Born in Guyana and raised in Queens, Nelson overcame a life-altering train accident at 13 and pursued a degree in Cultural Anthropology from Queens College.
While working as a taxi and Uber driver, Nelson recognized that certain customer groups need more than a standard ride-sharing service can provide. The critical gap in the market – a need for safe airport transportation for families with young children. This insight led to Kidmoto, a platform prioritizing safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Now that vision is expanding with Moto Nation. Nelson's determination has reshaped expectations in the industry, creating tailored solutions for groups in need of specialized transportation.
