Since reciprocity is innate, the opportunity to increase the quality and quantity of our human connections is a special one. And if this were to have a positive impact on each of us, the ripple effects would be transformational for society. In this context, we view a car trip as a means to a larger end. But to “be there”, you have to “get there”. So, if our tech makes it easy, affordable and rewarding for everyone to get there, we’re more than confident our users will do the rest. This is why our venture is all about community.
