Founder story
Splyt was founded in 2015 by Philipp Mintchin, Yulia Dankova, Andrius Skerla, and Stephen Mason in London, United Kingdom. Originally starting as a consumer ride-sharing app, the team realized that fragmented international transport systems created severe friction for global travelers. They pivoted to a B2B mobility roaming platform that enables apps like Grab, Alipay, and Booking.com to offer seamless ride-hailing globally.
