SKOOT is a platform that connects friends who need lifts or errands, with friends who can help. The app auto-calculates fares for lifts taken and splits the costs. It also permits users to organise, request and arrange errands or simple favours from friends for free or a £5 tip. SKOOT claims to be the only carbon negative green navigation app for drivers. The company argues that it has also taken up the '1 Million Tree Challenge' and plants a tree for every journey on the platform. SKOOT is live on the Apple App Store and Google Playstore, with more than 18,000 users. It aims to become a contender in the ride-hailing industry that is worth $85.8 billion. SKOOT states it has raised £3.1 million from investors, won £75,000 from Innovate UK, and completed over 1,200 tasks to date using its 'Errands' feature launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. SKOOT states they will use the investment to extend its product, create more revenue streams and increase user activation across the EU, USA, Australia and Canada by early 2022.
