The Drivers Cooperative
It's always surprised me that we haven't seem more attempts at co-op like models in spaces like this, and I'm happy to see it.<p>Uber/Lyft strike me as thin businesses in the value that they actually provide both to riders and drivers. Yes, they were responsible for some initial innovation, but now the cat is out of the bag, and the concept could absolutely be applied in a business structure that is more profitable and friendly to the people actually delivering the services.<p>Getting initial traction with riders, and adequately investing in trust & safety strike me as the two hardest parts up front. On the flip-side, they should benefit from less regulatory scrutiny, and less pressure from investors vs. the heavily funded players like Uber & Lyft.<p>I'm rooting for them and hope to see this go somewhere.
