At Long Last, its Time to Move on to the Next Chapter.
The ride was rough, we were driving into unknown territories and all the same thrilling. After months which seemed like years, we have finally announced to the world that we have been acquired by another company.
I remembered when we started Taxiwise in Dec 2012 in order to join AcceleratorHK. Since then, my cofounders Truong, Lawrence and I have faced many challenges, gone on many emotional roller coaster, explore new industries and learned a great deal along the process.
For Truong and I, it was an eye opening experience as we have to face customers which we could not communicate with (as we dont speak Cantonese) and having to deal with their lack of technology awareness (we even tried a session to teach them English). Luckily Lawrence was there to mediate and lead the meetings. Having to sit down and grab afternoon tea in a local Chinese joint wasn't our version of fun talk but i’m glad we did it as we learned more about their life, the way they work and how we can help them out.
As time went on, we struggled in other areas such as the technology side, getting people to join and stay committed and so forth. Its an experience we will never forget and will always keep with us.
Still getting some love, we made #5 in Tech In Asia's 10 Taxi Apps you can use across Asia.
The next ride…
We are excited to announce, we will be joining the team at Ikky and build an even more awesome service while improving our own Taxiwise service. The guys at Ikky are super cool and friendly and offer a vast array of knowledge. Expect our service to merge in the future and be able to do more than just book a taxi.
Thanks to our friends and advisors for supporting us until now. We couldn't have done it without you guys and thanks to the Ikky folks for being patient with us throughout this whole process.
As they say, the learning never stops…
-Jean-Marc
