Acquisitions and Growth

Voyager Global Mobility (VGM) is a fastest growing mobility operator in America, providing professionally managed vehicles to drivers and software company partners.

The origins of VGM began as early as 2013. Sam Jurkowicz and Menachem Light were two cousins who grew up in NYC together. The two formed a strong bond and eventually decided to become business partners, starting multiple small businesses throughout the years. While staying with Menachem in early 2013, Sam decided to rent a car and drive for Uber in hopes of earning some extra income.

Noticing how difficult the task of renting a car was, a naturally curious Sam started to track the entire process and became increasingly interested in the inner workings of the business. Sam saw an opportunity and instead chose to gather his resources and purchase two cars, renting the second car out to any potential Uber drivers in need of a vehicle.

Sam printed a flyer and posted it in front of Uber headquarters and the response was immediate! He shared his findings with Menachem, who after hearing of his cousins success began to get excited about the potential business opportunity. Menachem decided to go all in, and through the help of friends and family they raised the money to buy an additional ten more cars by the end of December. The two continued to build on that momentum and by February 2014 they had purchased 30 cars, all of which were rented and on the road.

The final pieces came with the addition of Michael Hager (CEO) a trusted business leader and close friend of Sam, and Sam Levine an experienced investor who in 2018 purchased a 50% stake in the company and helped fuel the expansion into other markets. A few years, 400 employees, and 8000+ cars later, VGM has not only increased market share organically, but it has also aggressively diversified through a number of strategic acquisitions.
