It is aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 17 years who are legally restricted to use other transportation network companies. The service can be accessed by parents via a mobile app. The service employs mostly female drivers who have at least five years of experience in childcare.[1] HistoryIn 2013, Joanna McFarland and Janelle McGlothlin met a children's party where the idea about "hiring moms and babysitters to drive kids around" originated. Later, they teamed up with Carolyn Yashari Becher, a former real estate lawyer, and founded the company.[2] The service launched in May 2015.[3] In January 2016, the company raised $10.2 million in a Series A round.[4] In August 2018, the service launched in San Diego.[5] In March 2019, the service launched in Washington, D.C.[6] References1. ^{{cite news | url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/hopskipdrive-kids-ride-sharing/ | title=HopSkipDrive is a California-based Uber for Kids | first=Bruce | last=Brown | work=Digital Trends | date=August 29, 2016}} 2. ^{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/28/business/hopskipdrive-a-ride-start-up-for-the-after-school-set.html | title=HopSkipDrive, a Ride Start-Up for the After-School Set | work=The New York Times | date=June 28, 2015 | subscription=yes}} 3. ^{{cite news | url=https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-hopskipdrive-20150501-story.html | title=L.A. start-up introduces on-demand transport... for kids | first=TRACEY | last=LIEN | work=Los Angeles Times | date=May 1, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite news | url=https://techcrunch.com/2016/01/26/hopskipdrive-the-ridesharing-startup-for-kids-grabs-10-2m-in-series-a-funding/ | title=HopSkipDrive, The Ridesharing Startup for Kids Grabs $10.2 million | first=Fitz | last=Tepper | work=TechCrunch | date=January 26, 2016}} 5. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.cbs8.com/story/38947931/hopskipdrive-rideshare-service-for-kids-launches-in-san-diego | title=HopSkipDrive: rideshare service for kids launches in San Diego | work=KFMB-TV | date=August 23, 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news | url=https://wtop.com/business-finance/2019/03/hopskipdrive-a-kid-friendly-ride-service-comes-to-washington/ | title=HopSkipDrive, a kid-friendly ride service, comes to Washington | first=Jeff | last=Clabaugh | work=WTOP-FM | date=March 25, 2019}} 1 : Companies based in California |
