When one of the founders of Google put out a challenge to come up with a business idea that would positively impact a billion people over 10 years, Jessica Scorpio thought of something that almost everyone does: drives. “Transportation is a sector that impacts almost everyone on the planet,” she says. “I’ve never owned a car, so this is something that I knew a lot of young people would love and need.”
