Yoshi doesn’t Let You Go to the Gas Station
Good News for the San Francisco Citizens!
Gas comes as it is needed
Now, no more wasting time at the gas station! San-Francisco –based startup, Yoshi Inc. officially launched its gas delivery service in the Bay Area. Moreover, it offers small services such as pumping the car tires, replacing windshield and wipers as well as washing cars. Yoshi has partnered with Firestone to allow customers to buy new tires and book a tire change through the app.
Yoshi’s mobile, on-demand car services will reach you as soon as you book the service via its dedicated app. In US, there are many such gas-delivering services like Filld, WeFuel, Purple, Booster Fuels and GasNinjas. Nick Alexander is the CEO and Co-founder of Yoshi. Other founders are David Gobaud, Bryan Frist and Dan Hunter.
“Set it and forget it” approach
This “set it and forget it” approach allows Yoshi to optimize their delivery routes. Engineering its own gas delivery trucks with a proprietary system, called the Fuel Vault, Yoshi is able to access any car’s tank, even if the gas flap is locked. With respect to safety and legality of fuel delivery, Yoshi is abiding to relevant local regulators and rules, and especially fire departments, in each market where it begins fuel delivery.
About Yoshi’s Funding
It is reported that Yoshi has raised a seed funding of $120,000 for exploring new markets and upgrading its vehicles to keep in par with today’s technology. The funds will be used in delivering a rapid charge to electric vehicles, or hydrogen or biodiesel. Currently, it is participating in Y Combinator in Silicon Valley.
