Investing in the
human side of
transportation.
Robocars are taking over jobs, places, and communities. HUMAN is the platform fighting back — empowering human drivers through technology and giving riders a real choice. Join us.
A $515B market ready
for disruption.
The global ridesharing market is projected to reach $515.49 billion by 2030. Existing platforms face mounting challenges — safety concerns, surge pricing, driver dissatisfaction, and an accelerating shift toward autonomous vehicles that displaces millions of human workers. HUMAN is the credible, human-first alternative.
Human-only positioning
As robocars displace drivers at competing platforms, HUMAN becomes the natural destination for millions of professional drivers needing a new home.
Commission-based model
Revenue through fare commissions, business partnerships, in-app advertising, and premium services — multiple diversified streams from day one.
Trust as a moat
Stringent driver verification, background checks, real ratings, and no surge pricing build a loyal rider base that competitors cannot replicate quickly.
California-first, then nationwide
Launched statewide in California as a single zone. Expansion to additional states based on demand and market potential — the playbook is proven.
Progress to date
Why now. Why HUMAN.
$515B market by 2030
The global ridesharing market continues to expand rapidly. The human-driven-only segment represents a growing share as consumers push back against full automation.
The robocar displacement wave
As Uber, Lyft, and Waymo accelerate autonomous deployments, hundreds of thousands of professional drivers need an alternative platform. HUMAN is that platform.
Differentiated and defensible
No surge pricing. Driver-set fares. Background-checked drivers. 24/7 human support. These are hard operational commitments competitors cannot match without restructuring entirely.
How HUMAN makes money.
A commission-based platform with multiple diversified revenue streams from day one.
Revenue streams
Fare commissions
A percentage of every fare goes to the platform. Drivers keep 80% — still higher than any major competitor.
Business partnerships
Partnerships with airports, metro links, hotels, and taxi companies leveraging their existing fleets.
In-app advertising
Targeted promotions and local business advertising served to riders during booking and transit.
In-car shopping
Drivers can sell accessories, drinks, sweets, and snacks directly from their vehicle during the trip — a personal touch that earns drivers extra income on every ride.
Carsharing
Drivers temporarily unable to work can list their vehicle — or entire fleet — for other drivers or riders who need their own wheels. All types of cars and trucks, model year 1992 and newer.
Meal delivery
Local restaurant deliveries handled by HUMAN drivers, connecting neighborhoods with fresh food and giving drivers a flexible earning option between rides.
Hotel booking
Riders can book hotels directly in the app and request a HUMAN driver to take them there — turning the platform into a full travel companion.
Technology stack
GPS & real-time routing
Advanced GPS tracking and real-time data analysis to optimize routing, matching, and driver allocation.
Human-powered matching
Riders and drivers favorite each other to build preferred pairings, and can unmatch or block at any time — putting people in control of who they ride with.
Identity & safety
Robust identity verification and background checks — combined with favorite, unfavorite, and block controls that let riders and drivers choose who they share a ride with. No rating system that can ruin lives over a bad day.
Android & iOS apps
Android launched Feb 2021. iOS in development. Seamless, intuitive interface for both riders and drivers.
Web portal
A fully built rider and driver web portal — account management, trip history, donations, favorites, help center, and more — accessible from any browser without needing the app.
Community blog
An active blog covering driver stories, platform updates, and rideshare industry news — keeping the HUMAN community informed and engaged.
Live support
Real-time in-app support connecting riders and drivers directly with the HUMAN team — fast, human responses when it matters most.
