Our story

In 2018, our cofounders Jeff and Will first met for lunch in a train station. They quickly became close friends with a deep mutual respect for each other’s skills and shared desire to use technology to improve cities. In 2021, with 15+ years of combined startup experience, they saw the opportunity to improve transportation benefits and how we pay for transportation.

Since then, Jawnt has launched a world-class commuter benefits platform and mobile-friendly commuter debit card that powers everyday commutes all across the US, and continues to grow its customer base across healthcare, higher education, technology, and other enterprise organizations.

As part of our mission to make transportation available to everyone, we've also partnered with cities and transit agencies across the US to administer universal basic mobility programs that make transportation more equitable and accessible.

Today, we're a distributed team with offices in Philadelphia, New York City, and San Francisco. As we grow, we continue to come together at our semi-annual Jawnt Jaunt and other events to foster in-person collaboration and growth (and of course, ride transit together!).
