SAN FRANCISCO, May 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Kruze Consulting, a startup-focused CPA firm, analyzed over 40,000 individual ride sharing transactions expensed by over 140 seed and venture backed startups, and found that Lyft increased its market share to over 30% by the end of 2017.

Kruze Consulting helps hundreds of seed and venture funded startups with their bookkeeping and taxes, and this data provides a unique insight into trends shaping the startup community - including how companies allocate their spending based on current events.
