NewsStories & Insights: Meet Matthew Iommi, Fetii CEO and Co-Founder

Meet Matthew Iommi


We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Matthew Iommi. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Matthew below.

Matthew, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

The average American in 2021 lost 97 hours of their life in traffic. That’s time that could have been spent nurturing your daughter or son, bonding with your partner, caring for your mother or father, forming memories with your friends, or building with your co-workers. Instead, each year you sit in your car staring at red taillights for 97 hours. The root of this problem…unnecessary single-occupancy vehicles on the road.

Where is the innovation? Where are the solutions? How can we leverage technology to remove unnecessary vehicles off our roads and enhance our quality of life? Well, that’s when Justin Rath (Fetii CTO) and I decided to bring about a solution, Fetii.

Fetii is a group rideshare platform that utilizes 15-passenger vans to transport groups and businesses on-demand…together. Now there is no need to split up the group and utilize multiple vehicles because everyone can fit in a fetii, reducing congestion and emissions!

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers?

My name is Matthew Iommi and I aim to transform how the world moves. I am currently the CEO of Fetii, a group rideshare platform that has safely transported over 470,000 passengers, removed thousands of unnecessary vehicles off of the roads, and helped create hundreds of jobs. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Economics and Business Management.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

The team at Fetii is one of resilience and fortitude, and there’s no better example than our time during the pandemic. As a group rideshare platform, our business suffered significantly. Instead of giving up, we used our ingenuity and technology to assist university institutions with their reopening processes. We made it out of those dark times and we are now transporting more passengers than ever before.

Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?

Justin Rath is the Co-Founder and CTO of Fetii. I met Justin in high school, where our passion to make an impact on the world brought us together. As we grew, we would discuss different ways to utilize our skill sets to make our impact, and it was through that creative process that we landed on transportation. We have now devoted our lives to decongesting cities around the world, giving time back to people, safely transporting groups, and creating jobs. We are off to a great start, but we’ve only just begun.
