Tanzanian-born Godwin Gabriel has created new ride sharing app, Moovn. Similar to other ride-sharing apps, Moovn works very similar, but aims to be both more affordable and notes safety as one of its top priorities.
Moovn is currently available in 8 U.S. cities, one city in Canada and three cities in Africa. Among these cities include New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Portland, Vancouver, Washington D.C. and Johannesburg, South Africa. The app sets itself apart from both Uber and Lyft because it allows users to schedule a ride up to a month in advance via the app. It also allows for selection of different vehicle types such as motorcycles based on the market.

Gabriel, who holds an MBA from University of Washington’s Foster School of Business has a vision to make Moovn’ the Amazon of Africa. “I believe technology consumption in Africa is growing rapidly year over year and therefore presents us with tons of growth opportunities to continue our expansion and operations within that continent,” he said in an interview with Urban Geekz. “All-in-all, there are so many business models that can be built upon this platform but our grand vision is to become the Amazon of Africa.”
