SPLT founder, Anya Babbitt, moved the company from New York to Detroit. SPLT is a ride sharing mobile app service that connects co-workers traveling along similar routes to work. The service has since morphed to partner with businesses to, say, make it easier for folks without good transportation options to make it to medical appointments.
