GetTaxi Nabs Another $150 Million in Funding

Ride-share apps are booming, and there's infighting

GetTaxi—a consumer taxi app that has seen success in cities in Israel, Russia and the U.K.—launched in the United States this week, in New York, and secured an additional $150 million in funding, bringing the total raised to-date to $207 million. The company partners with local fleets to provide taxi service to consumers.

"GetTaxi combines state-of-the-art technology, 24/7 live customer service, and fixed predictable pricing,” said CEO Shahar Waiser in a statement. "In blending the best user experience of apps with live customer support and competitive pricing, we have built a uniquely disruptive model that’s been a proven winner in large markets as diverse as Tel Aviv, Moscow and London."
