The Future of Pocketgo

1. Our open platform.

The central idea of our vision revolves around this concept of an open platform, by which we mean simply, that Pocketgo as a company will not be the only ones participating in transforming the personal mobility landscape.

This is in parallel to a previous innovation that has already occurred with the mobile phone. The transition from a simple PDA to the current “smartphone” that we all use today was brought by Apple and Google’s strategy to openly embrace the efforts of outside developers and creators — people who, with all their different perspectives and experiences, created services beyond anyone’s individual imagination — using the mobile platform put in place for them to enjoy.

We believe that the personal mobility market can undergo a similar, albeit slightly different transformation. The current models working in the personal mobility in the market are largely limited, precisely because the car producers/product providers only use their own platforms to service their own products. This is like the PDA a decade ago; they only put applications engineered by themselves on the mobile phone.

Pocketgo, however, envisions something much different, much more convenient. We believe mobility applications and services could be better served by an open platform provider — one which we hope to become — that in turn, allows all creative ideas regarding personal mobility to flourish. Users would able to access all kinds of mobility applications and services through Pocketgo as well, transforming the landscape together.

2. Our VAR program.

Our VAR program is the second component of our future Pocketgo mobility landscape. VAR stands for “Value-Added Reseller,” by which we mean, well, literally that. Considered to be the supply side of our plan, the VAR program also seeks to genuinely diversify the kinds of methods by which cars can be supplied.

Simply put, this is also an open platform, in a slightly tweaked manner. Our VAR Program enables anyone to be a car supplier who can supply their own cars. Initially, Pocketgo will supply cars to individuals through our subscription service (hence, our current subscription service exists — it’s part of a larger plan). Later, we plan on launching a “marketplace” platform (coming, likely, within this year), which will allow these subscribed individuals to resell and trade the cars under conditions that they choose.

Furthermore, Pocketgo is not going to be the only car supplier either. We also have third party suppliers, who can also have their own VAR programs and put cars into the “marketplace” accordingly. Pocketgo thereby achieves a more effective distribution of vehicle inventory and greatly expands the available supply of cars as well, adjusted to meet demand accordingly.

VAR partners can immensely benefit as well from participating in our mobility service platform. They can get additional profits, as they can receive transaction fees every time an exchange occurs with their own product on the “marketplace.” Through the additional supply put in the market, Pocketgo can, in turn, provide mobility services more efficiently and grow much faster than other centralized systems.
