About
Peter SerVaas founded DoubleMap, a real time transit software platform used by universities, cities, and transportation systems across the country and eventually sold to Ford Motor Company.
Peter helped scale DoubleMap from an early stage technology concept into a widely adopted mobility platform powering millions of rides each year. The company became known for its reliability, user focused engineering, and ability to integrate across complex transit environments. After the company was acquired by Ford Smart Mobility, Peter continued supporting transportation technology leaders and mission focused operators who are building solutions that improve the movement of people and communities.
Today, Peter works with founders in transportation technology, software, and operationally complex businesses, helping them clarify their growth path and prepare for strategic acquisition.
“I have always believed that technology should serve communities in tangible ways. Helping founders navigate their exit is meaningful work to me because it allows the mission behind the business to continue at a larger scale.”
