About Presto 

Our mission is to build an all-electric future, one magical charging experience at a time.

Presto is the leading EV charging platform in the US that helps fleets and their drivers access charging across networks in a seamless, single app and API. 

The largest EV fleets, including Avis, Hertz, Uber, and Zipcar have signed up to use Presto. This rapid adoption is due to an exceptional experience (top-rated charging app on both iOS and Android), high conversion rates, and frequent usage.

Founded by Ashwin Dias and J.J. Raynor, the team combines deep marketplace leadership from Uber and fast-scaling EV tech experience from Tesla, Rivian, and more. 

Investors include Union Square Ventures, Congruent Ventures, Powerhouse Ventures, and leading angel investors.
