Logan Green, co-founder and board chairman of Lyft, has joined Autotech Ventures as a venture partner. Autotech Ventures is a premier VC firm investing in mobility and transportation.
Green’s experience in leading Lyft from inception through hypergrowth, and his vision for more equitable and efficient transportation solutions, will be invaluable for Autotech as it continues to identify and support startups transforming transportation.
After co-founding Lyft as one of the first peer-to-peer ridesharing marketplaces, Green also scaled it into one of the world’s most successful transportation platforms, facilitating hundreds of millions of rides annually. And in March 2023, Green stepped back from his day-to-day responsibilities as Lyft’s CEO and moved into the role of chairman of its board of directors. He also serves on the board of directors of eBay.
Green joins Autotech Ventures with extensive experience building consumer marketplaces, scaling and leading companies through exponential growth, and creating enduring consumer brands.
As a venture partner, Green will focus on identifying investment opportunities, mentoring founders and management teams, and providing strategic guidance to both portfolio companies and the Autotech Ventures team. His appointment validates Autotech’s commitment to attracting top-tier talent and reinforcing its position as a leader in mobility investments.
Autotech Ventures is a venture capital firm with over $500 million under management and a mission to solve the world’s ground transport challenges with technology. And the company has invested in over 40 startup companies, including Outdoorsy and Hayden AI, and its notable exits include Lyft, XNOR.AI, Frontier Car Group, indie Semiconductor, Volta Charging and Marti.
