Pitch Version 1:

PROBLEM
We help drivers GET PAID while commuting to work by using our application to sell their Open Seats to passengers at Park & Rides.
MARKET
Public transportation is a $54 B industry with over 120 MM daily commuters.
Rideshare makes money by connecting those commuters and charge a 5% reservation fee on an average fare of $7.
SECRET SAUCE
The secret sauce is our crowdsourced vanpool/carpool timetable which gives passenger the flexibility they want in their schedule.
TEAM
I'm a software architect with over 16 years of experience.
We currently have an MVP in private beta testing.
CONCLUSION
We are looking to raise $500K in seed funding so we can build a team and put an end to traffic and pollution.




PITCH VERSION 2:
Frustrated being stuck in traffic and wishing you could zoom by in that carpool lane?
Now imagine if you can be in the carpool lane and get paid for it.
