Register and maybe even pitch at tomorrow's Extra Crunch Live with Toyota AI Ventures and May Mobility
 Toyota AI Ventures and May Mobility will talk the future of the transportation industry on Extra Crunch Live Besides a passion for progress in the mobility space, what do Toyota AI Ventures' Jim Adler, May Mobility's Nina Grooms Lee and May's Edwin Olson have in common?
All three of them are joining us on an upcoming episode of Extra Crunch Live. The show goes down on May 12 at 3pm ET/noon PT.  May Mobility is one the most exciting companies to enter the transportation space in the past decade. The autonomous shuttle company has a fleet of autonomous low-speed shuttles spread out between Detroit, Grand Rapids and Providence. Recently, May launched a Lexus-based autonomous shuttle. The company has raised $83.6 million in funding, including a $50 million Series B led by Toyota Motor Corp.
Which brings us this episode of Extra Crunch Live.
Toyota AI Ventures Founding Managing Director Jim Adler will sit down with May Mobility Chief Product Officer Nina Grooms Lee and May co-founder and CEO Edwin Olson to discuss how that Series B deal came about. We'll talk about what made May stand out to Toyota, and vice versa, and how the teams have worked together since.
We'll also talk about what to expect out of the ever-changing and growing mobility industry.
On the second half of the episode, Jim, Nina and Edwin will put on their feedback hats and listen to live elevator pitches from the audience as part of the ECL Pitch-off. Folks attending the event will be able to raise their hand and pitch their startup to the VC/founder duo, and then answer their questions and get their feedback.
Extra Crunch Live is free to everyone and focuses on the relationships between founders and investors that have led to successful business building. We talk about what made them choose each other, hear about the initial pitch meetings and learn about how they make decisions about the future together.
