Who is ​Nelson Nigel?

Nelson Nigel is a survivor, entrepreneur, and problem solver. At 13, he miraculously survived being hit by a No. 7 express train in NYC, losing part of his forehead. Undeterred, he embraced life’s challenges. Formerly a yellow taxi driver, Nelson explored New York City, connecting with people worldwide. His cultural anthropology background fueled his passion. Observing parents struggle with car seats, he founded Kidmoto, an app that pairs parents with professional drivers offering installed child car seats for airport transportation. With just $600, Nelson turned adversity into innovation, making travel safer and more convenient for families.
