My friend Bob's been building Teleport in stealth mode from NYC until today. Congrats, Bob and Michael & team! Earlier this year, Bob sent me a Teleport (for an Uber driver, but from Bob's Teleport) from one part of NY to another for an early afternoon coffee & it worked beautifully. On that note, it's easy to see potential, low-hanging fruit use ca… See more

@suzywillow is Bob on PH so he can be added as Maker? Until he is added, I think I can only comment as a reply to your initial post. The concept seems sound (but I still have yet to try it, which I'd like to). I actually have been frustrated on many occasions trying to call an Uber or Lyft for the person I'm departing from (for various reasons).

@suzywillow Really like the idea, had so many arguments with friends whether we should come to them or they to us. Curious to hear your thoughts on first dates? Invite your date to your place?

@suzywillow I think this makes sense for sure :) I wonder if this works if you want a friend to LEAVE your house... 'accidentally' call them an Uber so they gotta go!

@suzywillow Thanks for hunting us! Hi, I'm Bob, a co-founder of Teleport App. We are excited to be one of the first start-ups building a company on top of Uber's API. We were able to work closely with Uber primarily because we demonstrated to them that we could build beautiful products and that we were dedicated to using the Uber API platform in a unique way… See more

@rikvandonselaar Well now you can either go to them or Teleport them to you! Your dates will definitely be impressed if you send them a Teleport on your first date.

@bobawu @suzywillow Hi Bob, great concept and congratulations for the launch ! Would it be possible to teleport non-Uber users or users who don't exist on the identity platforms such as Facebook ? For example - if my parents are visiting from India and I am unable to go pick them up, would Teleport allow me to get an Uber for them ?

@nipungupta Thanks for the kind words. Absolutely! That's the whole idea. Our Teleport Dashboard even allows you to send cars to people that don't have a mobile device. Hence they don't even need Uber or our app downloaded. We send them a text message if they have a mobile device and they can select their location using our web app.

Thanks @bobawu How does the Uber driver verify the identity ? And what incentives do the drivers have to use Teleport ?
