"Boaz Bikes Founder Emil Nnani Explains Community Impact at Launch of a New Crowdfunding Campaign http://230914.s4g.biz AI Episode Summary Devin Thorpe interviews Emil Nnani, the CEO and founder of Boaz Bikes. Boaz Bikes is a new alternative to the traditional scooters found in cities. Boaz Bikes was created to solve the safety problem associated with scooters. The design of Boaz Bikes makes them safer than traditional scooters, with a lower center of gravity, an open deck, larger tires, turn signals, side mirrors, and a basket for personal items. Boaz Bikes also focuses on equity, offering discounted rides for people on government assistance and ensuring access to transportation for underserved communities. The company works closely with communities, obtaining permits and stationing hubs in areas with transportation needs. Boaz Bikes is currently raising money on Wefunder. Emil’s superpower is his persistence and refusal to quit. He shares his own experiences and uses them as examples to motivate and coach his team. Emil's family and the investment already made in Boaz Bikes were his driving forces during a challenging time in his effort to raise venture capital in Silicon Valley. http://superpowers4good.com"
