GetTaxi, also known as Gett, is an Israeli-based startup that developed a gps based application connecting between customers and taxi drivers using the application's proprietary GPS system and enables users to order a cab either with their smartphone or through the company's website. The application is compatible with iPhone, BlackBerry and Android platforms and it currently operates in more than 50 cities, including New York City, London, Moscow and 13 cities in Israel. ==History== GetTaxi was founded by Israeli entrepreneurs Shahar Waiser and Roi More. Waiser came up with the idea in the summer of 2009 during a thirty-minute wait for a taxi to the airport in Palo Alto. GetTaxi was launched two years later. The service's beta version started operating in Tel Aviv during 2011 summer and on July 2011 GetTaxi was launched in London. On August 2011 GetTaxi branched out to London, and in March 2012 to Moscow. Also in March 2012 GetTaxi opened their first offices in the USA in New York City in which Mashable titled GetTaxi's arrival: “This App Will Revolutionize the NYC taxi Experience". By June 2012, the company had raised $30 million, including $9 million more from British billionaire industrialist Len Blavatnik’s Access Industries Fund, to facilitate GetTaxi's entry into New York as well as other U.S. markets. In August 2014, the company raised a $25 million investment from Vostok Nafta Investments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GetTaxi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
