Documented cause
MobilSV2 launched El Salvador ride-hailing after MobilSV had already failed to dislodge InDriver. Without a differentiated product or segment, the second attempt faced the same market structure with worse capital.
Lesson
“El Salvador mobility must find the segment InDriver doesn't serve — food delivery to informal vendors, motorcycle delivery for informal economy, or tourist-specific services.”
