Tickengo Connects Facebook Users With Rides

Say you're planning to go to a concert in another part of the state. Odds are, several other people are, too. That's how Tickengo was started, and it has become quite a popular service, using Facebook as a verification mechanism.

Say you’re planning to go to a concert in another part of the state. Odds are, several other people are, too. That’s how Tickengo was started, and it has become quite a popular service, using Facebook as a verification mechanism.

Tickengo Co-Founder Geoff Mathieux thought of the idea when he was in Paris for an event. He was taking a cab back from his hotel to the airport, and knew that it would be rather expensive.

Mathieux figured that several other people were likely getting to the airport in the same manner, meaning that there would be a lot of cars with empty seats on the road, all going to the same destination.
