Taxify, the ride-hailing company from Estonia backed by Didi and Daimler and now active in 30 countries, is making a key shift in its business today as it gears up for its next stage of growth. The company is removing “taxi” from its name and rebranding as Bolt, the same name that it has been using for its new electric scooter service, to double down on providing multiple transportation options beyond private cars. The shift in name and vision comes as the company has started talks for another round of funding, TechCrunch has learned. Bolt last raised money in May 2018, when it closed a $175 million round at a $1 billion valuation led by Daimler.
