MaaS Global, started by someone named Sampo Hietanen, hit a bump in the road financially and had to declare bankruptcy. But Umob saw an opportunity and decided to step in. Now, umob owns all the cool technology from MaaS Global, including the Whim app that helps people get around.
The Players:
umob, led by Raymon Pouwels, is all about making travel easier. They’ve been working on this since 2023, and now with the Whim app under their belt, they’re ready to do even more.
What it Means for You:

Umob uses smart technology to figure out the best ways for people to get around. They look at lots of data (but don’t worry, it’s all anonymous) to see how people move and how they can make things better.
Looking Ahead:
This isn’t just about apps; it’s about making cities better for everyone. umob wants to work with cities to make transportation smoother and greener. And with their new purchase, they’re one step closer to making it happen.
