At Jaunt, our mission has always been about reimagining iconic vehicles for a sustainable future, and recently, we had the honour of being featured in Apple’s Small Business Success Stories. This spotlight offers a unique perspective on how technology has played a crucial role in our journey from the very start.
Apple’s tools have been a core part of how we operate—helping us streamline our work, collaborate effectively, and build an electric vehicle conversion business from the ground up. Their ecosystem has allowed us to stay organized and focused while bringing together a team with diverse skills to tackle the challenges of a new industry.
As Jaunt co-founder Dave Budge shared in the Apple feature:
"I’ve been using Apple technology since the original Macintosh (with a brief hiatus around the turn of the millennium), and their approach to design and engineering has always been a huge inspiration. When Marteen and I started Jaunt, like any small business, we used the tools we had at hand—Apple laptops and iPhones. They’re just computers and phones, but as the de facto IT admin (amongst many other jobs), an Apple ecosystem made things easier, especially as we brought in people from very different backgrounds and created new ways of working in an emerging industry."
Apple took notice of how we work, visiting us several times to understand our process and philosophy. The result? A global feature on their Small Business Success Stories page, and even a recent LinkedIn ad campaign showcasing Jaunt’s work.
It’s both humbling and exciting to see Jaunt’s story told by a company that has inspired us for so long. If you’re interested in the full feature and video, it’s available on Apple’s website, offering a detailed look at how technology is helping us build sustainable transport while growing a small business.
