Getaround Founder & CEO Sam Zaid and Interprivate II Chairman & CEO Ahmed Fattouh

Is it possible to do to the car rental industry what Airbnb has
done for travel accommodation? That is Getaround’s thesis as
it runs a marketplace where people can rent out their personal
cars for short trips, and it announced a $900 million combination
agreement with Interprivate II Acquisition Corp. in May. 


This week, we speak with Getaround founder and CEO Sam Zaid about
how the pandemic accelerated shifts in the way we drive and how
car sharing fits into future.


Interprivate II Chairman and CEO Ahmed Fattouh also joins to
discuss why Getaround fits the profile of companies the market is
ready for now. As a serial SPAC sponsor, Ahmed also shares his
take for how the SPAC landscape is shaping up.
