Founded in 2012 by Hoang V. Do, Hitch Lab enables its users to collaborate on writing source code for 3D printers through a cloud-based system. This allows them to build electric motorcycles for clients around the world. The company operates globally, with the hitchhiker as a symbol of its global citizen identity. Users are paid in an international online currency that can be used and transferred anywhere with minimal transaction costs. Hitch Lab also offers the opportunity to purchase the premium domain name Hitchlab.com and launch a business with a high-quality logo.
