Funded Startup: Founder, Product Manager & Senior UX Designer.

May 2015 – January 2016  |  9 months  |  Los Angeles, CA.

Cream Cycles is a tourist based bicycle rental company that serviced Santa Monica, Venice & Marina Del Rey, CA. I raised capital and we launched in the Summer of 2015. We quickly became known as the premium bicycle rental company. We had a brand new fleet of 50 bicycles and the tourist loved riding them. I was approached by the VP of Santa Monica Tourism and asked to have Cream Cycles featured on SantaMonica.com. After substantial organic growth, one of my tech colleagues contacted me and asked Cream Cycles to pitch at REACH Next. We launched Cream Cycles to prove there was a demand for distributive bike share. From our analytics we decided to move forward with RideNAB.
