Nelson, the resilient Founder and CEO of Kidmoto Technology, transformed a personal challenge into a thriving business. In 2016, as an Uber driver, he observed the absence of child car seats in taxis and car services, leaving parents in a vulnerable position. Recognizing the gap in the market left by Uber and Lyft, Nelson developed a mobile app to offer a convenient and safe solution for parents traveling with small children, particularly to and from airports.
Kidmoto has since become a trusted brand, connecting parents with a network of skilled drivers providing secure child car seats for airport transfers in 52 U.S. cities. Despite Nelson’s challenging background—growing up poor in New York and surviving a train accident that left him in a coma for weeks—he maintains a remarkably positive mindset. His hard work and respect for his team have led Kidmoto to achieve remarkable milestones, including over 40,000 completed rides, a 7-figure revenue for 2023, and a valuation of $25 million.
