The curb is alive: Jonah Bliss of Curbivore is building a movement from the edge of the street


Listen Later

What do scooters, taco stands, Uber drop-offs, and bike lanes have in common? They all meet at the curb.

In this episode, we talk with Jonah Bliss, founder of Curbivore, about how his background in mobility startups and marketing led to a full-blown movement rethinking the curb—not just as infrastructure, but as opportunity. From his early days helping launch Turo and Velo to building Curbivore during the pandemic, Jonah shares how a scrappy idea became a vibrant festival-meets-conference in the heart of LA.

We get into:

  • The origin story of Curbivore (hint: it started with a pandemic, a parking lot, and a lot of curiosity)
  • Why the curb matters more than you think
  • How street vendors, startups, and city officials can all coexist (and even collaborate)
  • The future of mobility, delivery, and street life—and what cities still get wrong
