The Drivers Cooperative CTO, Jason Prado

Stefan sat down with Jason Prado from The Drivers Cooperative: a driver-owned ridehailing alternative to Uber & Lyft that is 100% worker-owned.

In the chat, we discuss:

• The history of ridesharing in the US

• The problem with Uber & Lyft

• What a worker-owned cooperative is, exactly

• How The Drivers Cooperative formed

• How owner voting works in the cooperative

• How profits are distributed among owners

• Marketplace dynamics: How they manage supply & demand

• The challenges of going up against Uber & Lyft

• The mechanics of investing in their crowdfunding campaign
