Trisha Ballakur is CEO and Co-Founder of Pointz – a bike mapping app that rates roads on a one to five scale of bike friendliness.
Just 24 years old, Trisha has already secured over half a million dollars worth of funding and been named in the 2025 Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Transportation and Mobility alongside her Co-Founder.

We rank every single road in the US on a bike safety scale and provide routes using crowdsourced data to help riders get from A to B comfortably. You can search up a route just like you would on Google Maps and select one based on your unique customisations, such as a hill or trail preference, and how new you are to biking. With our premium subscription, we also provide 24-hour emergency roadside assistance. Safety is one of the top factors preventing people from completing their short journeys by bike, and our ultimate aim with Pointz is to give riders the reassurances they need to go out and ride.”
