SEATTLE, Feb. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Migo, the free discovery app for on-demand rides, was selected as a finalist in the Transportation category for the 11th annual SXSW Pitch® (formerly SXSW Accelerator). SXSW Pitch is the marquee event of South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conference & Festivals (March 8-17, 2019) Entrepreneurship & Startup Track. Out of the more than 800 companies that applied to present at SXSW Pitch 2019, Migo was selected among the 50 finalists spanning 10 separate categories.
Migo is available in the App Store for iPhone and covers over 75 cities across the United States. Just in time for SXSW, the app now offers local ride options in Austin, including RideAustin and zTrip. Migo is the first app available in the U.S. that allows users to search, compare and book multiple types of personal transportation, such as the country's most popular rideshare, bike, scooter, carshare, taxi and public transportation options, without having to jump from one app to another. Some apps, including RideAustin and zTrip, may require download prior to use within Migo. In-app payment is available for many partners today and will be expanded in the future.
"We're honored to be selected as one of the SXSW 2019 Pitch finalists," said Jeff Warren, founder and CEO of Migo. "There's no more appropriate place to share our Migo story than at this global conference that celebrates the convergence of technology and creativity. With over 430,000 expected attendees trying to find a quick, cost effective and fun way to get from event to event, Migo can help attendees quickly discover the best transportation options (best ETA, best cost, most fun) as they move around Austin."
Getting started with Migo is as simple as downloading the app from the App Store for iPhone and hailing your ride. Services requiring an account will either ask you to link to an existing account or Migo can help you create one 'on the fly.'
