Teleport
Co-founder & CEO, 2014-17.
Teleport built software for free people on the move.
I narrowed in on the human mobility topic during my research as an EIR at a16z. With like-minded co-founders Silver Keskküla and Balaji S. Srinivasan we decided to create a company that helps individuals figure out what is the best place for them to live an work, and how do they get there.
We raised at $2.6M seed round from Andreessen Horowitz, Seedcamp, SV Angel and several angels and started broadly experimenting in this space, launching a location search engine and a series of adjacent consumer apps.
In 2017, Teleport was acquired by Move Guides (now Topia) to become the employee-facing part of its' enterprise global talent mobility management platform.
