Meet Aha Mobile! They just hit the stage at his year’s Under the Radar: mobility. Missed their presentations? Here’s their company profile and pitch:

Company Description |
Aha has created the first driver-to-driver network to connect drivers to relevant information about the road – both from other drivers and from the Internet. Initially available as an iPhone app, Aha is powered by a powerful backend platform that will in the future enable its service in imbedded automotive solutions. Aha uses the Web to accurately answer questions like “Hungry?,” “Need Coffee,” or “Need a bathroom?” based on the user’s current location and preset preferences. Letting drivers easily record comments for each other, Aha answers the question, “What’s the driver ahead experiencing?” and creates the first driver-to-driver network.

Last Funding Round | June 2008, $3M
Customers | Consumers who drive
Partners | Consumer electronics companies, auto manufacturers
