VUGO RIDESHARE ADVERTISING TEAM

VUGO Rideshare Advertising was founded in 2015 in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Robert Flessner and James Bellefeuille to entertain passengers while helping Uber & Lyft drivers make more money. Since then rideshare advertising has become an easy and proven way to make more money by getting more customers for advertisers. Vugo was even named the "...best rideshare advertising company to make more money" by TheRideshareGuy.com in 2019.

We have helped thousands of business owners guarantee the future health and happiness of their business by getting more value from their advertising dollars. F500 companies, agencies, brands, startups, the Ad Council and small businesses have trusted VUGO to get their messages in front of passengers and pedestrians.

Major investors include Florida Funders VC, University of St. Thomas, Tihama New Media, and other prominent Florida Angel Investors. Vugo currently has offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and Minneapolis, Minnesota and will be consolidating their headquarters to Florida later this year.
