The main shareholders of Gett, including Access Industries, Baring Vostok, MCI and Volkswagen Group, invested $ 80 million in the company, it follows from Gett’s message. The round was estimated at $ 1.4 billion, and it is the first time when the company disclosed the sum. The total amount of investments attracted by Gett exceeded $ 700 million, of which $ 300 million came from Volkswagen.
The Gett service (formerly GetTaxi) was created in 2010. It allow customers to order taxi and delivery via smart phones. The company operates in 120 cities in four key markets: Israel, the United Kingdom, the United States and Russia.

Among the co-owners of Gett is also Swedish Vostok New Ventures and Russian Inventure Partners.
Gett’s founder Dave Waiser expects that the service will become profitable in all countries of presence by the first quarter of 2019, with the exception of R&D developments. According to him, the fastest growing market for the company is New York, where 45,000 drivers are connected to Juno. In other words, it is more than 50% of all drivers with licenses. Most of its annual revenue of $ 1 billion Gett receives from corporate customers, whose base totals 13 thousand companies, Mr. Waiser told to TechCrunch.
