João Matos Albino

Hey there, I’m João. I’m a Portuguese Entrepreneur living in Mexico City and a big fan of mobility. I'm co-founder of Urbvan and together with an amazing team we're building a network based on people needs in urban areas.

Urbvan

Urbvan is a shared mobility network that connects inner-city commuting and existing transportation options with people to create a safe, efficient, comfortable, and accessible experience, all through a technology platform. As a business, we seek humanity in every interaction by promoting social inclusion and empathy, and challenge ourselves by learning from others and innovating rigorously to be a model within the mobility industry.
