In a world where most autonomous vehicle companies are still stuck pitching prototypes and dodging regulatory potholes, Beep, Inc. just put the rubber to the road, and left the rest coughing in its electric dust.
With $52.7 million in fresh Series B fuel, co-led by Intel Capital and Blue Lagoon Capital, Beep isn’t just scaling, it’s compounding. They’ve now raised a total of $97.7 million across three rounds, with returning support from ABS Capital, TDF Ventures, and Hidden Creek Management. That kind of long-term conviction doesn’t happen unless you’re doing more than selling a vision, you’re delivering results. And Beep’s results are loud.
Founded in 2018 by Joe Moye, Kevin Reid, and the late Rodney Rogers, Beep knew from day one that self-driving tech was only half the equation. What mattered was real-world mobility that could actually move people, not just investors. Forget “autonomous for one,” this is about moving communities, campuses, and cities, all on a scalable, electric, multi-passenger backbone.
Today, Beep operates the largest fleet of autonomous shuttle deployments in the U.S., 40+ deployments in 10 states, including the longest-running operation in Lake Nona, Florida. They’re not dabbling in pilots. They’ve already delivered the nation’s first federally procured autonomous shuttle at Yellowstone National Park, and they just landed a $36 million public sector contract with Jacksonville Transportation Authority to launch the NAVI program, America’s first fully autonomous public transit system. 14 autonomous Ford eTransit vans. 13 stops. 3.5 miles of proof that the future isn’t coming, it’s already idling at the curb.
Let’s be clear: this level of execution doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when your leadership doesn’t just talk product-market fit, they engineer it. Kevin Reid stepped up as CEO this month, transitioning from Chairman, and brings the same intensity that scaled Virtustream into Dell’s cloud crown jewel. Joe Moye now rides shotgun as Vice Chairman, while Clayton Tino, Ph.D., Beep’s former CTO, was promoted to President and COO last year to keep the tech stack tight and the operations tighter.
Beep’s AutonomOS™ platform isn’t some toy sandbox for AV demos, it’s a battle-tested, vehicle-agnostic orchestration engine designed for real-time service optimization, in-cabin safety AI, and smart-city integrations that actually talk to the streets. And now, with partners like Oxa, HOLON, NAVYA, and Ford Pro, they’ve got the hardware, the software, and the streets to match.
Production kicks off in 2026 with HOLON’s new Jacksonville facility, the first autonomous shuttle plant in Florida. Call it what it is: local job creation meets mobility revolution. And with over 30 NHTSA waivers under their belt, Beep isn’t waiting for permission, they’re setting precedent.
Autonomous mobility isn’t about shiny dashboards or empty promises. It’s about who can deploy, scale, monitor, and repeat, with surgical precision and regulatory swagger. Beep, Inc. is doing exactly that. And with this latest round, they’re turning down the noise and turning up the scale.
