La empresa estadounidense de e-scooter sharing Bird ha adquirido esta noche a su competidor alem\u00e1n Circ. Los t\u00e9rminos del acuerdo siguen sin revelarse, pero es probable que Bird espere acortar distancias con Lime, financiada por Uber, especialmente en Europa. <\/p>\n
Bird tambi\u00e9n a\u00f1adir\u00e1 300 empleados a sus operaciones en el continente y estar\u00e1 activa en Oriente Pr\u00f3ximo como resultado del acuerdo con Circ. La noticia salt\u00f3 en medio de rumores previos y de un mercado de la micromovilidad en plena consolidaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Aunque se inform\u00f3 de que Circ hab\u00eda intentado conseguir financiaci\u00f3n de serie B el pasado oto\u00f1o, \u00e9sta lleg\u00f3 demasiado tarde. El fundador de Circ, Lukasz Gadowski, dijo a TechCrunch<\/em> en aquel momento que hab\u00eda sido dif\u00edcil servir a m\u00faltiples mercados en Europa simult\u00e1neamente. \"B\u00e1sicamente averiguar c\u00f3mo ser m\u00e1s eficientes, c\u00f3mo dirigir una operaci\u00f3n de micromovilidad; a\u00fan no est\u00e1 optimizada, y aprendimos durante el verano\", dijo. Es un sentimiento del que se hizo eco su nuevo propietario, el CEO y fundador de Bird, Travis VanderZanden, en un anuncio reciente<\/a>: \"Atr\u00e1s quedaron los d\u00edas en los que el crecimiento de los ingresos era el principal KPI para las empresas emergentes. La econom\u00eda unitaria positiva es la nueva l\u00ednea de meta\".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La empresa estadounidense de uso compartido de e-scooters Bird ha adquirido esta noche a su competidor alem\u00e1n Circ.

The LA-based scooter-sharing also announced the completion of a $75 million extension to its Series D funding round, bringing the size of the round to $350 million with investors including Target Global, Team Europe, Idinvest Partners, and Signals Venture Capital. According to our count, Bird’s post-money valuation is now above 3 billion US dollars.<\/p>\n That is not to sayCirc had been entirely unsuccessful. The service spans across 43 cities in 12 countries, and new owner Bird promises that together, they would make “it easier for cities to manage micro-mobility programs while continuing to scale and increase the reliability of its service”.<\/p>\n One of the ways to do so may lie in battery swapping<\/a>. Circ had introduced the new e-scooters in Austria last year and said then it would expand the offer. Sweden’s Voi made a similar move at the time to green their service in Paris while also making it more efficient.<\/p>\n bird.co<\/a>, techcrunch.com<\/a><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126739\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
