What iAte does

Curb Mobility, LLC operates a mobile-first taxi hailing and payment platform serving riders, licensed taxi drivers, fleet operators, and brand advertisers across major US metropolitan markets including New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Newark, Chicago, and North Carolina. The company's core product surface consists of the Curb Rider App (offering immediate 'Ride Now' requests, advance 'Ride Later' reservations, and 'Pair & Pay' for in-cab contactless payment), the Curb Driver App for professional taxi drivers, and the Curb Flow integration platform that connects licensed taxi supply with riders from partner apps including Lyft. Underlying technology centers on real-time ride matching, digital meter integration, and a fleet management system branded as eFleet Access that provides dispatch and payment processing for taxi operators.

Curb monetizes through two primary streams: per-ride transaction fees on taxi payments processed through the platform, and in-cab advertising sold through the Journey Connect (TaxiTV) screen network that targets brands in food, travel, and experiences during peak ride periods and major events such as the World Cup. The company also offers Concierge, a corporate ground-travel management product. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer through iOS and Android app stores, supplemented by web portals for drivers, fleet operators, and business customers, and extended through Lyft's platform in partnered markets. Strategic partnerships include Lyft (NYC, LA, SF, North Carolina) and a municipal pilot with the City of Boston, plus a 2026 Newark expansion timed to the World Cup.
