Vivek Hutheesing on Clubhouse

Bio

As an experienced tech and mobility entrepreneur of German-Indian descent, I’m on Clubhouse to:

✅ help fellow founders, especially those launching software ventures in the consumer web and consumer mobile spaces;

✅✅ move my new transportation venture closer to launch (see below), in order to pursue our mission of enabling everyone to save money, save time, and save the planet;

✅✅✅ stay well-informed on U.S. presidential politics and election campaigns, after taking time off between startups to work for Senator Amy Klobuchar’s 2020 run.

✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ hablar Español, el idioma que amo más que ningún otro!

I’m passionate about leveraging our humanitarian impulses in a highly scalable and profitable way. As a founder/ceo for 20 years, I’ve focused my career on technologies that enable everyone to leverage their physical proximity to others.

I ran a for-profit community venture in Silicon Valley called rBlock Inc. from 2005 to 2014. We partnered with the City of Palo Alto, and learned a ton.

Our new startup is still in stealth mode. Our most important long-term goal is to contribute to the reversal of anthropogenic climate change. We plan to launch and scale a community-driven transportation marketplace that will significantly reduce the number of cars on the road AND the total cost of everyone’s mobility. Car owners will save up to 75% while riders will save up to 90%. Our secret sauce, best described as a “community network”, makes our new venture a pivot from my first one, rBlock.
