Documented cause
MobilCOL2 launched Colombian ride-hailing after InDriver and Cabify had established positions. Without a differentiated segment, the company couldn't reach the driver density needed for service quality. $8M was insufficient to compete with subsidized international platforms.
Lesson
“Ride-hailing in Colombia must target a segment none of the three incumbents serve — airport-dedicated, women-only, or suburban micro-mobility corridors.”
