Josh Holstein is the Founder & CEO of CellARide, a midwest technology company pioneering automotive marketing technology one message at a time. With headquarters in Springfield, Mo., Josh has grown CellARide from an idea to a high-growth company garnering national attention. Company growth was catalyzed by investment twice from Capital Innovators, a Top 10 technology accelerator, and sustained through partnerships and agreements with Toyota, Nissan, Honda, GM, and the National Safety Council, among others. With his vast hands-on experience with innovation, Josh has created an “on-demand innovation help desk” called Drive To Innovate, with the goal to help other entrepreneurs and companies from making the same mistakes he has during his journey. Josh can be reached at josh@cellaride.com.
CellARide has built its award-winning technology from the ground up while establishing itself as a leader in client-driven solutions for automotive marketing technology. CellARide works directly with automotive manufacturers, dealer groups, national advocacy organizations and coalitions to identify and capture dynamics of consumer behavior, providing effective methods of customer engagement. CellARide provides clients with an intuitive shopper insights, compliant communications and data capture platform. CellARide’s solutions use broadly adopted mobile messaging technologies to reach consumers directly and provide real-time, actionable data for clients.
CellARide has been pioneering the automotive marketing technology space since 2010! Our ride started with simply wanting a way to “text a car” and receive sales information without the awkward conversation. Since then, we have evolved into an award-winning technology company anchored in the Midwest, doing business with some of the largest automakers and marketers in the world. The CellARide Team, based in Springfield, MO, has a passion for making a difference in our community and beyond. We focus most of our charitable work through children’s charities in the US and have used our platform to provide funding and resources for families locally and across the United States.
