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
