Hailo, Inc. operates in 11 cities in Europe, Asia and North America, and has been called the “Taxi Magnet”, offering users the ability to get a licensed cab within 2 taps through the convenience of an iPhone or Android smart phone.  Launched in 2010, Hailo expects to expand to other markets including Tokyo, Washington, DC and Barcelona, Spain.
