🚘 Founded by Enrique Hormillo and Miguel Locsin, DOON is the Philippines' first fully insured peer-to-peer car-sharing platform, connecting car owners with those in need of a vehicle. Owners can earn by renting out their cars, while renters gain flexible access to a car whenever they need it. The company raised $1.5 million in pre-seed funding in October last year, allocating the investment toward improving its mobile platform and expanding its web marketplace.
