In today’s exciting episode, join Dimitri Gershenson and guest Su Sanni, Co-Founder & CEO of Dollaride, a mobility company tackling climate challenges in underserved communities. Learn about their clean transit initiative and the quest for sustainable transportation solutions.
Su, a graduate of Boston College, began his career in finance at Brown Brothers Harriman, but his entrepreneurial spirit led him to the tech world, where he honed his skills in sales and revenue generation at Meltwater Group.
Dollaride is a mobility company that brings clean and accessible transportation to underserved communities. With Su's uncles' experience in the transportation industry and partnership with academic experts at NYU, Dollaride was created with the aim of providing a platform for small business owners to solve transportation challenges in their communities.
The conversation further delved into how Dollaride integrates climate-friendly practices into its operations.

The episode concluded on a powerful note as Su shared some invaluable advice for fellow entrepreneurs. He emphasized the importance of building a strong team and creating a network of peers to navigate the emotional toll of entrepreneurship.
