Your job as CEO of a startup is to solve a painful problem, for a specific customer, with a team that executes with speed.

Latest RSG podcast is live with @robflessner from @vugo. Was great to catch up with Rob and hear about how their new rideshare advertising product is helping fleeting owners earn more $$. Reach out to Rob if you’re looking to earn more $$ for your fleet!

1️⃣ Vugo started in 2015 as the first rideshare advertising platform
📱 New product is integrated into the headrest
💵 🍎 🟰 NYC and Miami are the top earning markets

[Rob Flessner @robflessner]

Glad to see traction moving the right direction. When we sued NYC back in 2015 we couldn't believe the city turned its back on thousands of drivers trying to earn a better living. We've been patiently waiting and hope to return to the city soon with our rideshare partners.

HAPPENING NOW: NYC Uber & Lyft Drivers with @DrivingGuild joined @AmandaFariasNYC at City Hall to celebrate her new bill that could put thousands of dollars in rideshare drivers’ pockets through advertising revenue!! #1u #UnionStrong @NYCCouncil 🧵

Nice! Just had @robflessner from @vugo on my podcast to talk about the state of rideshare advertising. Great episode! Coming soon.

And always give credit to Vugo for pioneering the industry way back in 2016.

Invalid traffic on digital ads could result in over $72B in wasted ad spend by 2024. That’s wild. It’s not getting better either - that’s up 33% from 2022. OOH on platforms like @Vugo are a great way to get 100% viewability for your ad. https://t.co/e0ERQW873f

@vugo has some new features that will be available by end of year for vehicle partners... dm me to learn more.

[Rob Flessner @robflessner]

I had a great time this week at Twin Cities Startup Week! Always fun to see how the community is developing over time. It's come a long ways but has a long way yet to go. Looking forward to next year.

If you want a project to move faster, put fewer people on it.

[Rob Flessner @robflessner]

Vugo and Zity are partnering to bring out-of-home advertising to 450+ vehicles in Milan, Italy. Send me a DM if you are interesting in learning more - Milano Fashion Week is in September! #advertising #ooh #rideshare #milan https://t.co/COEteVRMMx

Too many startups quit too early.

Patience is a mandatory requirement.

Please don't give up and keep going.

When your friend launches a startup be their first paying customer.

90% of startups fail

10% of entrepreneurs don’t give up

[Rob Flessner @robflessner]

Vugo will be in Manchester, England this week for a little announcement. Stay tuned.

@Delta your pricing is broken and doesn't align with your corporate carbon reduction objectives... it costs $2,200 to fly from Minneapolis -> Paris/London round trip. BUT it costs $1,200 for Minneapolis -> Chicago -> Minneapolis -> Paris/London... last leg is same flight.
