Company History
Founded 2012 in San Francisco, California, United States
Lyft grew out of Zimride, the long-distance carpooling company founded by Logan Green and John Zimmer. In 2012, the founders launched Lyft as an on-demand rideshare service with a friendlier consumer brand, helping define the transportation network company category in the United States.
