Nathan Lehoucq is the CEO of Hoop Carpool. HOOP Carpool is a startup that aims to promote carpooling in cities through a mobile application. Starting in Spain, it aims to expand to more countries, allowing its citizens to save costs, improve the comfort of their journeys and help to reduce congestion and pollution in cities.
