What is Juno?
Juno is a fresh approach to ride-sharing. We are a ground-breaking start-up founded by Israelis, gearing up for our big time launch in NYC. But this isn’t our first time around the block… and we have the street cred to back it up! You may have heard of our founders, the creators of Viber.
The name Juno was inspired by the ancient Roman goddess of protection, and that is exactly what we are striving to do: revolutionize the ride-sharing industry by protecting our drivers.
Everything we do is guided by our core values (Kindness, Fairness, Respect & Transparency), and we believe we are truly setting a new standard for how business can and should be done.
We are offering to make our drivers our partners, and show them that things can be better than the status quo, because we believe that happy drivers means a better experience for the riders… nobody has to lose. Wouldn’t that be a nice world to live in? Come help us make it happen!
We believe if we are good people and make decisions from our heart, driven by the desire to make human to human connections, we can pave the way for socially responsible and heart-driven business.
Sounds too good to be true? – yeah, we thought so too.
Join us in the revolution…

It’s been a year since we launched in New York, and Juno is making a dent in the ridesharing universe – going from 0 to 8% market share. Following a recent acquisition by Gett, we now have more resources to take over the industry, and come up with innovative new solutions.Â
