Emilio Mellado, Javier Galve and Jorge Jurado had to go to a meeting and they were late. “We wanted to take a taxi and none happened. We started to open all applications (Uber, Cabify, Mytaxi, etc) and there was no service available. In that moment of helplessness, we ask ourselves: How is it possible that we cannot see anywhere the fastest option? And the cheapest? And that is how Chipi App was born, which compares in real time prices and waiting times of the different mobility options offered by cities," recalls Mellado.

Currently, Chipi App aggregates information from more than 110 suppliers in 15 cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Malaga, Valencia, Zaragoza, Lisbon, Paris, Milan, Rome or New York, among others. Users of this application have performed more than one million global searches by more than 80,000 users. And in 2018, it was awarded as one of the new mobility technologies by the Madrid City Council. This app was the germ of World Wide Mobility (WWM), one of the 50 Spanish startups that are part of our fourth Entrepreneurs List.

VARIOUS BUSINESS LINES

The company specializes in the development of technologies for mobility, with three lines of business: Chipi Data, which offers urban mobility data based on its application; Chipi Advertising, which offers advertising campaigns for urban mobility operators and, WWM, a division that is responsible for the development of technologies in the area of ​​mobility. They already work with companies such as Wible, Acciona, Ecooltra, Coup or Emov, among others.

In this last line of business, they are immersed in the development of technology for car-sharing. “We are working for major car brands such as Hispano Suiza, which has just returned to the luxury car market with the launch of a new high-performance electric car. For this, he wanted to have our technology. For Carmen, which is what the car is called, we have developed a mobile application that allows full control of the vehicle. Among the many features, the owner can control the speed and power of the vehicle, remotely regulate the temperature, geolocate it, turn the lights on and off and open the car with facial recognition technology. The management of the charge of this electric car and any maintenance notice also goes through the app for your personal management. Carmen is the first car on the market to use a technology that allows full control of the car from a mobile application, "says Mellado. They have already installed their technology in more than 10,000 vehicles.

Last June, the company entered Mutua Madrileña in its capital, which has acquired 10% of the capital. The insurer joins the rest of the investment partners that WWM already had: business angels Angel Cano (former CEO of BBVA), Javier Rodriguez Zapatero (former CEO of Google), Domingo Caamaño (former CEO of Alphabet & BMW Bank) , Julián Recuenco (former CEO of SEUR Logistics) and Nacho de Pinedo (CEO of ISDI).
