Kidz Cab
Transportation Service for Kids
Mission: To provide a high quality and reliable transportation service that enhances the quality of life for the children and families we serve.
Dan Hunt and his wife Cho started KIDZ CAB in October 2001. Dan and Cho Hunt have always been childcare providers and have always had a passion for children. They saw first-hand what a hassle transportation posed for parents who worked full-time and had children who needed to be transported all over town for extracurricular activities. Dan and Cho are both graduates of NxLeveL for Business Start-Ups, a 10-week course offered by Women’s Enterprise for clients who are in need of funding by way of a strong viable business plan. When the Hunts enrolled in the NxLeveL course, the service they are currently providing was by no means the major component of their initial business plan. However, through interaction with Women’s Enterprise (Indiana’s first and only Women Business Center) and other SBA funded resources such as S.C.O.R.E. and SBDC, the Hunts discovered this niche and have worked to develop it.
In October 2001, the Hunts were able to obtain the funding needed to purchase their first van used to transport clients, the children. However, taking advantage of the marketing and advertising workshops provided by Women’s Enterprise, KIDZ CAB has grown to a four van fleet generating employment for approximately four to five contractors and peace of mind for hundreds of parents and businesses in Fort Wayne, IN and surrounding areas.
