JéGO brings the personal care services and products you need - all right to your location with the power of autonomous, driverless technology.
This new logistics network is built for the success of businesses - all designed to make it easy for them to be discovered. Customers will be able to have these services brought right to them, and also be able to securely order products from their own neighborhood.
JéGO is here to enable business owners in the personal care and health space to carry out their business without the burden of fixed costs like rent.
*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
JéGO’s mobile app (currently in beta, not yet available to the public) provides tools to automate business operations. As a result, we hope businesses that use JéGO pods to see an increased flow of revenue by enabling them to reach customers on the go.
JéGO is in the early development stages of its products. Currently, there are no products available on the market and we are in the process of R&D.
The Problem
Retail as we know it, is changing rapidly. Malls are closing down or being converted to offices & apartments. This indicates that the majority of businesses are ditching leases to look for alternatives to Brick & Mortar (source).
The effects of the pandemic aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. While some businesses have largely recovered from the initial decline - others continue to lag, and some recovered only to experience subsequent declines (source).
Businesses are the backbone of every economy. That inspired us to ask ourselves: How can we stop this further decline in businesses?
THE solution
JéGO plans on making it easy to experience and discover nearby businesses using Autonomous vehicles.
That means...
*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
Customers will be able to engage with businesses that provide services such as COVID Testing, IV drips, and other personal care services. Plus, customers who order from a JéGO vendor may be prompted with the option of a Pod delivery. Hello contactless service.
*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
And it’s pretty easy, too. When the Pod arrives at a location, it waits outside and sends a push notification alerting the customer that the delivery or service provider has arrived - typically within an hour or less.
Our goal is to reduce this time by increasing the number of vehicles on the road. Only JéGO verified users have access to the pods.
*The above graphic contains images of our beta app which is currently not available for general use.
Our plan is for the JéGO Platform fee to be 20% of each service provided on the pods, with a $1.75 flat fee charged to users.
Here’s more on what our business model looks like:
*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
THE Market
When specifically assessing the Autonomous Last Mile Delivery market size, North America alone is currently estimated at $4.83 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $84.72 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 24.4% (source).
(Source)
*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
The autonomous vehicle industry is primarily focused on addressing transportation issues for Smart Cities. JéGO, however, is focused on helping local businesses get discovered through an untapped avenue, by connecting community businesses to customers on-the-go.
*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
Our design is also different in that it allows both businesses and consumers to interact in a mutual safe space. Our pods are designed to provide a convenient on-the-go concierge experience that takes human-to-human contact out of the equation.
Our Traction
JéGO has a proprietary design and our IP Legal team has commenced our initial filing of our design and provisional patent. We have received letters of interest from organizations in the Engineering, Healthcare, and Technology industries, connecting users with everything from safe, remote COVID-19 test delivery to IV therapy and urgent care. We already have a partnership with Care on Wheels, an urgent care clinic in Miami that will be using our pods to extend their practice and reach more customers.
We believe this is early interest in our solution is a strong indication that we are a need in the market.
*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
Not to mention, we were able to receive an early investment from one of the Heads of Engineering at a Fortune 100 Engineering Company who also owns over 15 patents.
We believe this shows to be a strong stamp of approval from an expert at a Global Mechanical Engineering firm. He will also be advising on Global Operations and our Engineering team.
This adds to an already large wealth of experience in our team, consisting of individuals from Tech, Government, Autonomous Vehicle, and Entertainment background.
Why Invest
In 5 years, we plan to have successfully completed numerous pilot projects in multiple cities, anticipating that our pods will reach the 100 vehicle fleet mark.
*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
We plan to have more routes added to our network - giving the community businesses in our network even more exposure. The cities we have strong interests in our pilots are Miami, Atlanta, Austin, LA, South Africa, and more.
Our first area of use with the pods will be COVID testing & IV Drips. With the recent vaccine mandate, our goal is to get to market fast so we can have the JeGO Pod prototype available in our pilot in Miami, Florida to provide COVID Testing, IV Therapy, & Smart Retail.
*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development
By investing in JéGO, you not only get to participate in pioneering a cutting edge technology, but you get to participate in helping us empower our community businesses to earn more income opportunities. Care to join the mission?

JéGO Investors,
Our journey has been awe-inspiring! The outpouring of support from around the world, totaling 180+ investors, invoked a social wellspring allowing us to raise $133,000 in capital. We came into the industry with 0 members in our community and we've grown JéGO into a global phenom, made up of over 15,000+ individuals.
Daily, I receive messages from people about the hope our brand has created. This has become more than a business. It has become a collective mission that directly impacts our community.Starting with the e-mobility charging infrastructure housed in diverse communities, we’ve collaborated with Private & Public Entities to help meet sustainability goals. Additionally, we’re highly focused on ensuring the adoption of EVs & AVs in underserved communities because we know that these disadvantaged neighborhoods are not a part of the plans that other AV companies have. This is why we’ve strategically focused on these areas first, in a “land and expand” business model.
Over the last 9 months, JéGO has been very diligent, despite supply chain issues. With an active pipeline filled with Fortune 100 companies, independent investors, and community support through creative digital marketing campaigns. We’ve also secured funding from Angel Investors and currently meeting with Venture Capitalists who want to back our vision. During this time we’ve also added 2 new products with this growth, enhancing the need for a large size of capital to support our growth. Hence why the campaign will be closing today.
JéGO Planning. We will spend a considerable amount of time in securing funding from VCs and additional product development for expansion.
Effective May 2nd at 11:59pm ET, our campaign on StartEngine will be closed. Along with your friends, colleagues, and family – invest now! (**An investor may cancel an investment commitment for any reason until 48 hours prior to our close date, unless we have already disbursed your funds previously.)
We’re at this point in time to collectively embark on a mission together. JéGO will be a leader in the E-mobility space, making Autonomous Vehicles and Electric vehicles more accessible to everyone. We’re thrilled that you've committed to this journey with us.
To Our Collective Future,
Frederick Akpoghene
CEO/Founder, JéGO

An explosive podcast that explores and celebrates brilliance in Black women and men who have changed the world throughout history.
This episode dives deep into the Brilliance of a young man, Frederick Akpoghene, who is traveling down the autonomous vehicle path that no Black person has traveled in history, all while standing on the shoulders of another Brilliant Black man, Frederick Douglass Patterson, who was the first to build his own automobile manufacturing business in the early 20th Century.
Frederick’s life has been filled with strong women, a supportive father who had a vision for his son that he may not have found on his own and a pioneering wife. It’s amazing how well this couple compliments each other in many facets of life. For one, they’re both awesome individuals and trailblazing entrepreneurs in their own industries.

Great conversation with Joseph Frost on innovations in the C-Suite space. And got to share some insights on the culture at JéGO and how our innovation goes beyond our product.
Takeaways:
-The biggest opportunity that people in the c-suite are missing is making each employee feel like a valued member of the team. Doing this will help mitigate turn over and reduce how often you have to hire.
- Everyone has to work together as a team. You might have some separate individual goals, everyone in the company should share the same ultimate goal.
- Each person in your company is a different person, and they might respond to leadership in different ways. It’s your job to understand them and find the best way to communicate with them.
- As Mark Cuban said, business is a 24/7 sport. You can’t take time off from it and expect to still be at the top of your game.

Columbus, Ohio April 2, 2022 - JéGO finally releases a preview of their long-awaited E-mobility hub charging stations! JéGO has taken a significant step forward in combating climatic change by making electric vehicles more accessible to all Americans by establishing a nationwide network of universal EV charging stations, primarily targeting traditionally underserved communities.
With the rapid increase in the number of electric vehicles on the road, drivers seek convenient, universal chargers that are readily available. It is anticipated that there will be 120 million electric vehicles on the road as of 2030. To balance this equation and meet demands, 13 million charging stations will need to be built by 2030. However, as of 2022, there are currently less than 46,000 charging stations set up across the United States.
JéGO seeks to proffer solutions to this enormous deficiency and to have members of the public become a part of this mission. Business organizations, small or large, can partner with JéGO to make strives towards economic sustainability and profit while doing so. For example, JéGO can help with electric vehicle charging at your business, workplace, government facility, multifamily complex, or other publicly available charging locations. Taking this step attracts e-conscious consumers, helps to increase revenue, and showcases serious commitment to sustainability.
Whatever business model you operate in, we got you covered! Examples include petrol stations, car parking operators, real estate developers, municipalities and government, and energy utilities.
Are you thinking of being a part of this innovative global solution?

Cancel anytime before 48 hours before a rolling close or the offering end date.
We want you to succeed and get the most out of your money by offering rewards and memberships!
Your info is your info. We take pride in keeping it that way!
Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles!
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
