Company Description

Dollaride offers a new twist on an old transportation model to ensure that marginalized, outer-city communities have a faster, more convenient commute. We make public transit available to anyone, anywhere by delivering superior transportation starting at only $2 a ride. We do this by merging our technology with the informal network of local commuter van drivers (ie "dollar vans") to meet the growing demand for mobility solutions in transit deserts. Drivers trust Dollaride because our product helps them grow their business by accepting digital payments and expanding to new territory.

Valuation

Security Description

An equity crowdfunding specific version of a SAFE used by crowdfunding portal Republic. Upon conversion (if and when that happens), investors may receive special shares with limited rights that do not show up on a company’s cap table. The issuer may roll over and not convert shares at the next financing round causing investors to lose out on some upside.
