Easy Taxi was a mobile app for taxi hailing that was available in 30 countries, and it is now part of Cabify, from Maxi Mobility group. The app allowed users to book a taxi and track it in real time. The same iOS, Android, or Windows Phone app was used in all places in which the partner taxis operate. Easy Taxi was founded in 2011 in Brazil and expanded globally, covering the network of 30 countries and more than 420 cities. At December 2014, the company reported it reached the number of 17 million users and more than 400,000 taxi drivers were affiliated with the Easy Taxi network.
The startup was backed primarily by the biggest e-Commerce incubator in the world, Rocket Internet, but also other investors, including Millicom and iMENA secure Easy Taxi's foothold in emerging markets. The four latest series of investment took Easy Taxi to over $77 million in backing.
