LYFT, INC.
Lyft, Inc. is a Delaware corporation registered with the Washington Secretary of State as a foreign profit corporation (UBI 603295486), incorporated on 27 August 2014 and currently listed as active on that register. The company’s headquarters is at 185 Berry Street, Suite 5000, San Francisco, California.
Lyft, Inc. operates a technology platform that connects riders with drivers for on-demand transportation, primarily through its Lyft mobile application, across the United States and Canada. Its offering also includes bikeshare and scooter-share services in a number of North American cities, and a vehicle-rental option that allows drivers without a qualifying car to rent one for use on the platform.
In July 2025, Lyft, Inc. acquired FREENOW, a European multi-mobility application with a taxi offering at its core, for cash consideration of approximately €204 million, extending its transportation-network business into 11 countries and nearly 1,000 cities outside North America for the first time. In October 2025, Lyft, Inc. also acquired TBR Global Chauffeuring, a premium corporate and executive ground-transportation provider operating in around 120 countries, for approximately £83 million in cash plus contingent consideration of up to £17.3 million.
Lyft, Inc.’s common stock has traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol LYFT since its initial public offering in March 2019. For the full year ended 31 December 2025, the company reported consolidated revenue of $6.3 billion, up 9% year over year, with rides growing 14% to 945.5 million and annual active riders reaching an all-time high of 51.3 million.
The Washington State registration referenced above reflects Lyft, Inc.’s qualification to conduct business in that state as a foreign corporation; it does not indicate that Washington is the company’s headquarters, and an active registry status should not be read as a broader statement about the company’s financial condition.

Shareholders of Lyft, Inc.
Lyft, Inc.’s Class A common stock trades publicly on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (NASDAQ: LYFT). Under SEC beneficial-ownership reporting rules, only investors whose passive stake in a class of stock exceeds 5% are required to publicly disclose their holdings on Schedule 13G, so no complete shareholder register is publicly available for a company of this type; the information below reflects major disclosed holders only.
The Vanguard Group has been a recurring 5%-plus institutional shareholder of Lyft, Inc. Following an internal realignment completed in January 2026, under which certain Vanguard entities began filing beneficial-ownership reports separately rather than through the parent, a 2026 Schedule 13G/A filed by a Vanguard reporting entity disclosed beneficial ownership of approximately 18.7 million shares, representing 4.93% of the class, held in a passive capacity through index and other pooled funds.
UBS Group AG, acting through its asset-management subsidiaries, disclosed beneficial ownership of 20,341,153 shares (just above 5%) in a Schedule 13G filed in February 2024. A subsequent amendment reported the position reduced to 14,557,944 shares, or 3.58% of the class, the point at which UBS Group AG ceased to be a greater-than-5% holder and further periodic ownership disclosure was no longer required under SEC rules.
Zavia’s registry-sourced shareholder table for this company currently shows Vanguard Group Inc at approximately 16.1% and UBS Group AG at approximately 2.6% as of a September 2026 data snapshot. These specific figures could not be corroborated against the SEC Schedule 13G and 13G/A filings identified in this research, which point to materially lower percentages for Vanguard and a broadly consistent, declining trend for UBS; the registry percentages should therefore be treated with caution pending confirmation against a specific, dated primary filing.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No ultimate beneficial owner is identified for Lyft, Inc. Both shareholders discussed above are institutional asset managers holding shares in a passive capacity on behalf of pooled investment funds and underlying clients; no natural person’s beneficial ownership of the company has been publicly disclosed at a reportable threshold.
Data availability
Major shareholders only: for a Nasdaq-listed U.S. public company, only holders exceeding 5% of a class of stock must publicly disclose beneficial ownership, so this reflects the largest disclosed institutional holders identified in SEC filings rather than Lyft, Inc.’s complete share register.

Directors and officers of Lyft, Inc.
Lyft, Inc.’s most recent definitive proxy statement (Form DEF 14A, filed with the SEC on 10 April 2026) discloses eight members of the board of directors, seven of whom the company identifies as independent under Nasdaq listing rules. Of the individuals separately shown in Zavia’s registry-sourced officer data for this company, three are confirmed current board members as of that proxy: Prashant (Sean) Aggarwal, who serves as Board Chair (Class III director, term expiring 2028); Janey Whiteside (Class II director, term expiring 2027); and David Lawee (Class II director, term expiring 2027).
Kevin C. Chen, also shown in the registry data, holds the corporate-officer position of Vice President, Deputy General Counsel (Corporate and Commercial) rather than a board directorship. Lisa Blackwood-Kapral served as Lyft, Inc.’s Chief Accounting Officer; public reporting indicates she departed that role effective 6 March 2025, with then-Chief Financial Officer Erin Brewer assuming Chief Accounting Officer duties on an interim basis. The underlying registry record reviewed for this profile shows her appointment as still active with no resignation date recorded, which appears to predate this public reporting.
Recent officer changes
- Departure: Lisa Blackwood-Kapral departed as Chief Accounting Officer effective 6 March 2025.
- Appointment: Deborah Hersman joined the board of directors effective 25 January 2026.
- Appointment: Ben Minicucci, CEO and President of Alaska Air Group, joined the board of directors effective 23 July 2026.
Data availability
Partial: Washington State’s foreign-corporation annual-report filings record a subset of governing persons that, for Lyft, Inc., includes some sitting directors and some corporate officers rather than the company’s full board and executive roster — for example, CEO David Risher and several proxy-disclosed directors and executives do not appear among the registry entries reviewed. Nationality and country of residence are not disclosed for any of the individuals named above in either the Washington filing or Lyft, Inc.’s SEC proxy materials, and any correspondence address shown in the registry data is a service address for the company, not personal residential information.
