Jawnt, Co-founders Jeff Stade and Will Sanderson | Founding Philly Ep. 34

In this episode, I interview Jeff Stade and Will Sanderson, co-founders of Jawnt, a platform that provides access to the city through unified transit. 

Their innovative platform bridges the gap between mobility providers and organizations, delivering tailored benefits and access that align with the specific needs of each organization and its employees.

Jawnt enables organizations to allocate funds for their employees' transit needs, allowing them to fully or partially cover the costs associated with commuting. This flexibility empowers employees to select the most suitable transit options for their daily commute, ensuring they have the necessary access and support for efficient commute planning.

Jawnt also seamlessly integrates into existing payroll systems, simplifying the payment process and enabling teams to maximize both pre-tax and post-tax savings.

Addressing the shortcomings of traditional commuter benefits offerings, which often fail to fully meet the needs of riders, employers, and transit providers, Jawnt stands out as a comprehensive solution.

Supported by direct partnerships with transit providers and the deployment of thoughtfully designed technology, Jawnt is making strides in reimagining urban mobility.

Backed by world-class investors and notable angels, including Crossbeam Ventures, Mucker Capital, Triple Impact Capital, and Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code, Jawnt's innovative vision and potential for impact have attracted significant backing.

Tune in to hear Jeff and Will share their journey of founding Jawnt, the lessons learned, and how their platform is changing how individuals and organizations access and utilize transit options across cities.
