Being a disruptive innovator will get you noticed!

However, when you are a disruptive innovator, you become an existential threat.

A national bus company formally initiated legal action to prevent ridesharing and force us to suspend operations. We used the power of our community to put pressure on the government, and as a result the laws were changed. This paved the way for the future of ridesharing. Uber started operating in 2009 and Lyft in 2012.
