• Latvia-based ATOM Mobility has acquired ScootAPI, a micro-mobility SaaS provider, signaling further consolidation within the micro-mobility software sector.
  
• The deal, finalized at the beginning of last month, strengthens ATOM Mobility’s dominant position in the B2B SaaS micro-mobility market.
  
• ScootAPI founder George Kachanouski is making a successful and timely exit, as he is focusing his entrepreneurial energy into a new AI venture currently in stealth mode.

For years, both ATOM Mobility and ScootAPI have been key players, providing essential software solutions for micro-mobility operators worldwide. The acquisition allows ATOM Mobility, led by CEO Arturs Burnins, to solidify its market leadership further by integrating ScootAPI’s assets and client base.

“This is an acceleration moment for ATOM Mobility and the micro-mobility SaaS market as a whole. Acquiring ScootAPI aligns with our strategy to lead the industry and provide the most comprehensive, reliable, and innovative solutions to operators globally. We’re excited to welcome ScootAPI’s clients into the ATOM Mobility platform, further accelerating the growth and efficiency of shared mobility worldwide,” said Arturs Burnins, CEO of ATOM Mobility.

Founded in Riga, Latvia, in 2018 by Arturs Nikiforovs and CEO Arturs Burnins, ATOM Mobility empowers entrepreneurs to launch and scale mobility platforms worldwide, including vehicle sharing (scooters, bikes, mopeds, cars), digital rental, and ride-hailing businesses. Its suite of products includes customizable rider apps, comprehensive dashboards, operator apps, and robust analytics. ATOM Mobility supports over 200 projects and 35,000 vehicles, facilitating more than one million rides monthly.

ScootAPI, based in the US and founded in 2019 by George Kachanouski, established itself as a significant player with its white-label SaaS platform for micro-mobility operators. The company enabled more than 50 distinct micro-mobility projects globally, driven by a mission to foster smart city transportation and contribute to reduced CO2 emissions and improved urban life.

For George, selling ScootAPI was not part of his initial plans. “Selling ScootAPI wasn’t something I was planning to do,” George admitted. “We had built a good product, and the journey was far from over in my mind. But then the AI revolution really took off, and I found myself completely captivated by the potential of agentic workflows to automate business processes. The idea of building a new company in the AI space, something potentially even bigger and on a brand new frontier, became incredibly exciting.”

He remains confident about the transition for ScootAPI’s clients under ATOM Mobility. “ATOM Mobility has a clear vision and the technical depth to support operators long-term,” he said. “That was important to me. I didn’t want to hand things over to just anyone – I wanted to be sure the people relying on our platform would still be supported and able to grow.”
