RideShare: Taking On Uber

About this event

Everyone says you can't compete with the giants in ride-share. Let's test that properly, with a working product on the screen. RideShare is built around rides on your schedule. You choose a destination, compare ride options and see an estimate before you book, or schedule a pickup for later. Drivers get their own view of nearby trip requests and reservations. It's early, and that's the point. This is a working product at the hardest stage: before it has the riders and drivers a marketplace needs. So what would you do next? We'll dig into: • Is there a niche where a smaller player wins: one suburb, one campus, one event? • Which comes first, the drivers or the riders? • What do safety, insurance and transport rules mean for a new entrant? • How much of a ride-share product can a very small team build with AI? How the hour runs: • 4:30 sharp: the idea and the riskiest assumptions • 4:40: live walkthrough as a rider and as a driver • 4:55: you try it and tear it apart • 5:15: your launch plan, and how to apply it to your own idea Bring your sharpest objections. No technical background needed. Bring a laptop or phone. Try RideShare: https://loopride.proappstore.online/
