Looks good for local community
Thanks! Our goal is to bring local community closer together! Create meaningful and actionable relationships.
Where are you based?
We are based in Santa Clara.
Gave it a try. Feels very bay area focused.
You are right Arlo. Our current focus is in the bay area and Vancouver. We believe we can deliver the most value to our users if we can achieve a complete saturation of the local markets. So our current priority is to serve one market well, rather than expand our coverage, but we do expect to expand our footprints to other markets later in the year. :)
This is really smart. Very Zero to One-esk of you ;)
There's another Zum Rides that operates in the same space. Wish you well
Yep! There are quite great companies in the same space, Zum, Tango, HopSkipDrive, Waze and etc. However, most of them are in the Taxi as a service space similar to Uber and Lyft. Our goal is to create a true social network where parents can help each other and learn from each other, to create a better future for our children. So our app is free and carpool is non-transactional, we want to connect parents from local neighborhood who share similar schedules to share driving duties. :)
this is a smart way to go given the importance of the trust factor in this space.
Thank you for the vote of confidence!
Looks good but the video with the dog and the girl who doesn't want to play with him because she didn't carpool home was a bit much.
How are you growing the product, I imagine a lot of grassroots marketing? What has been most effective so far?
Yep! We are working closely with local schools, tutoring center, sponsoring local events, PTAs and much more. :)
I like this idea.. I can see it being very useful in local communities for sure.
Thank you for your vote of confidence!
This is a great idea, very needed in the neighborhoods ! Good luck !!
Thank you :)
Seems like a great product for team parents (ex. Soccer moms) to organize rides and whatnot. Good idea!
Yep! Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Have you guys talked to the Nextdoor app folks yet? When can we expect Nextdoor Neighbor to be released that combines the best of both? 😊
Not yet, but we do see ourselves as a complimentary to Nextdoor, creating meaningful offline relationships in the communities we live and love :)
Looks great!
Thank you :)
