California-based startup Scoop Technologies Inc. has raised $60 million in its latest funding round to more than double the ride-sharing firm’s investment total to $106 million.
Among the new investors are Goldman Sachs, NGP Capital, Total Group and BNP Capital. BMW’s iVentures unit has participated in previous rounds.
Scoop’s peer-to-peer service helps co-workers and neighbors coordinate and share rides. The company’s smartphone app manages scheduling, routing and payments.
The four-year-old company says it has facilitated 7 million carpool trips. With more than 50 corporate customers, Scoop operates in six major metropolitan areas in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
Last year, Scoop inked a deal with Lyft Inc. to coordinate services by the two companies in select markets. If a pre-planned Scoop trip is canceled at the last minute, a Lyft car automatically is scheduled in its place.
