Mission Statement: Cabeasy is a mobile app that gives users the ability to “name your own price” for car service on
Smartphone’s. Similar to Priceline, the process takes under two minutes.
Contact: Jonathan McKinney, Founder+1 [email protected]
NAME YOUR OWN PRICE with CabEasy! App Available for Download on iTunes
Problem(s) + SolutionTHE AREA OF OPPORTUNITY: People (riders) in several population centers in
New York City and similar urban centers around the country have problems accessing convenient and affordable transportation in their cities. Instead, they have to rely on mass transit because affordable and price-transparent alternatives are not readily available to meet their inner city and airport transportation needs. They feel helpless with unrestrained prices, and without the ability to shop around or negotiate.
ADDITIONALLY: These car services (providers) operate using inefficient pricing models, inelastic cost structures and generic marketing, placing a significant part of the travelling public out of their reach resulting in vehicle under utilization and lost revenue.
SOLUTION: Create a platform in which riders have more price control AND fleet providers can maximize fleet utilization, thus reducing costs
