About

What does it take to build a technology company that cities depend on? Join us for a fireside chat with Alexey Indeev, cofounder and CTO of Spare. In 2015, Alexey and his cofounders set out with an idea they couldn’t stop talking about: that cities could run smarter, fairer and more efficiently with the right technology. Eleven years later, Spare is a global platform supporting millions of rides, and Alexey has spent that whole stretch building it from a Vancouver startup into the software behind public transit agencies around the world. Moderated by Joel Hansen, this candid conversation goes behind the scenes of building a company over the long haul, from the early days of a big idea to leading through growth, change and challenge. We’ll dive into: How Spare grew from a founding idea into a global platform The biggest lessons, mistakes and turning points along the way Building with AI and what it changes for the next decade of mobility What Alexey would do differently if he were starting again today Whether you’re building your first company, scaling your startup, or simply curious about what it takes to turn an idea into something that endures, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Big ideas. Long horizons. Lasting impact. Come curious, bring your questions, and get ready to learn!
