At GoKid we blog a lot about technology. Why? Not only because we are a tech company ourselves but also because we believe that good tech, properly applied can solve a lot of the world’s problems.
You may have heard the phrase, “there’s an app for that.” Well, we found that there wasn’t an app for kids carpooling that allowed families to easily set up and manage carpools with other families they know. That’s why we created GoKid – to solve this problem. In our blog posts we like to mention other apps and technology that helps to solve problems for families, make them more productive and allow them to live in a more environmentally friendly way.
We write about best apps for work productivity, best apps for moms, best tech for back-to-school, and more.

This week we were tagged in a video by Mobility Lab about the future of mobility titled Filling up seats in cars: The future of driving in which the main theme was “moving people instead of just cars.” The theme of the video was related to my question in last week’s blog: Can the slate […] Read more
This week I came across an interesting article questioning if new startups in the carpooling and ridesharing space would convince Americans to carpool. The article compared the European carpooling market for long to mid-distance carpooling with the American market and came to the conclusion that for Americans sharing their car was still an afterthought—mainly because […] Read more

I recently attended the book presentation Start-Up City by Gabe Klein, former Director of Transportation of both D.C. and Chicago. The first thing I thought was: Wow this guy is pretty young – aren’t high ranking city officials supposed to be white haired? Second thought: That’s a pretty unusual book format – a small, square […] Read more
