Company Overview
ByRyde is a next-generation AI-powered two-sided rideshare marketplace comprising the most advanced driver platform ever built (120+ features, 15 GPT-5.2 AI endpoints) and byryde.com, the rider-facing application enabling seamless ride booking, real-time tracking, and secure Stripe payments. With deep integrations across Tesla, Firebase, Stripe, and Agora, ByRyde delivers a complete rideshare ecosystem.
The Opportunity
The Problem
The $149.9B rideshare industry treats drivers as expendable commodities. Despite powering the entire ecosystem, 1.5M+ US drivers operate without AI tools, lose $2,000+ annually to missed tax deductions, and face 60%+ annual churn. No platform has invested in AI-powered driver optimization.

Traction & Validation
Revenue Model
Team
ByRyde was founded by a former rideshare driver with 5,000+ completed trips who experienced every pain point firsthand — from missed surge windows to manual tax tracking. Combined with a CTO who has 15 years of AI/ML engineering experience and 2 prior exits, the founding team uniquely bridges deep domain expertise with world-class technical execution.
Investment Ask
ByRyde is seeking $8M in Series A funding at a $60M pre-money valuation to accelerate driver acquisition across 25 markets, scale the byryde.com rider platform, and achieve 25,000 active drivers within 18 months. With both sides of the marketplace already built, funds go directly to growth execution. Expected investor return: 16-26x within 5 years at projected $1.1B-$1.76B ARR.
Long-Term Vision
ByRyde is building the operating system for independent transportation workers worldwide. As autonomous vehicles emerge, fleet operators will need AI-powered management platforms — ByRyde's technology positions us as the intelligence layer for the $691B future of mobility.
