The Drivers Cooperative

The Drivers Cooperative, a ride-hailing platform, is raising crowdfunding on Wefunder. The platform is owned by the drivers themselves and helps them get a larger share of the fare, and profits come back to them. The drivers also get democratic control over the decisions that impact their lives. The Drivers Cooperative was founded by the New York City drivers in April 2020. The proceeds of the current crowdfunding raise, with a minimum target of $50,000 and a maximum target of $2,500,000, will be used towards payroll for engineering, marketing, and operations teams, rider and driver marketing, and SG&A expenses. The Drivers Cooperative has over 3,000 drivers recruited to the platform and has completed 2,000 trips since its launch in May 2021.
