The uRyde story
March 2020 - The founding

March 2020 - The founding

On March 5th, 2020, CONNECT Mobility GmbH was founded by the two brothers and engineers Malte and Johannes Andree and the software specialist Nino Handler from the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg with the aim of changing mobility. Two weeks later, the entire mobility has changed - only the team had no part in it, but a small virus turned the entire world upside down.
A very challenging time began, but the goal remained the same: to create sustainable, resource- and climate-friendly mobility for tomorrow.

February 2021 - uRyde School

February 2021 - uRyde School

Mobility has almost come to a standstill. One lockdown followed the next and the hospitals and clinics were working to the limit. In the schools, there were lessons in "cohorts" to reduce the risk of infection and to enable face-to-face teaching. Afterwards, the students were often taken home together in large school buses and the virus was able to spread further. At that time, the uRyde technology was already so developed that the team decided to take action and bring "uRyde School" to the app and play stores. The app was used to bring the cohorts home in smaller buses and private cars, thus reducing the risk of infection in many schools.

The number of infections continued to fall over the summer period and so, after more than 1.5 years of development, uRyde was officially rolled out at the first locations in August 2021 and made a contribution to sustainable, resource-saving and efficient mobility.

Our office and how we work

Personal responsibility, trust, flat hierarchies and a creative working environment are our focus. The uRyde offices are therefore set up more like a playground with a slide, ball pool and carrera track than a classic office.
