RYGO

Overview

RYGO was the rebrand of Find My Bus: the same real-time transport network I had built from seventeen, matured into a single brand spanning apps and websites for operators across the UK and Ireland — including Transdev, an investor, and the DVLA.

Alongside it ran VAMOOZ, an award-winning crowdfunding travel app on the same platform that let groups pool demand for trips and school passes, processing over £1M in transactions. RYGO was acquired by uTrack in 2020.

After the acquisition I stayed on as uTrack’s Head of Product for RYGO — holding equity in the business — responsible for integrating the product and its network into uTrack’s wider ticketing and tracking platform. I moved on in 2023 to focus on new ventures; uTrack was later acquired by Ridango.
