Our values

Three things we refuse to compromise on.

Safety first, always

Every driver vetted in person. Every trip watched. Every SOS answered by a human.

Electric by default

Cleaner air, quieter streets, lower cost per km — and more money in drivers’ pockets.

Guyanese through & through

We hire here. We build here. We answer the phone here.

Our story

From Oxford seminar room
to Georgetown sidewalk.

GuyWay co-founders Peter Lorenzo, Rico Ding and Michel Rhéaume at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
Peter, Rico and Michel — Saïd Business School, Oxford. Where GuyWay began as a conversation.
  1. 2024The spark

    Guyana enters the conversation.

    A presidential visit to Oxford University put Guyana’s transformation on the global stage — sharpening the question for three classmates already asking where.

  2. 2025Discovery

    On the ground. Listening first.

    Time in Guyana with commuters, drivers, fleet owners, public-sector partners. The pattern was unmistakable — a country ready for reliable, transparent mobility.

  3. 2026Launch

    From blueprint to motion.

    Registered entities, a local team, a vetted fleet, and an operating model built for Georgetown first. Launch in August — then the coast.
