EP.51 From the Backseat to the Boardroom: How Nelson Nigel Built a Mission-Driven Startup that Disrupted an Industry
The MISOGI Method – Episode 51
Guest: Nelson Nigel, Founder & CEO of Kidmoto Technologies
Host: Jody B. Miller
Episode Description:
What if the key to building a multi-city tech company wasn't venture capital or a Silicon Valley network—but insight, grit, and an unwavering mission?
In this inspiring episode, host Jody B. Miller sits down with Nelson Nigel, a former NYC yellow cab and Uber driver turned tech founder, who created Kidmoto Technologies—a transportation startup providing safe car seat-equipped rides for families with small children.
Now active in 64 U.S. cities with over 40,000 rides completed, Kidmoto is disrupting an industry long dominated by giants like Uber and Lyft—by focusing on a need they overlooked.
But Nelson’s story runs even deeper: from surviving a traumatic subway accident to bootstrapping a company built on purpose, resilience, and family safety, he embodies what
The MISOGI Method is all about—transforming adversity into opportunity.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Your past doesn’t define your path. But your choices—especially the bold ones—absolutely do.
