The rideshare industry was feeling stagnant. After years of the same old Uber and Lyft shindig, we felt it was time for a paradigm shift. We knew users deserved more power, more respect, and more opportunities to earn.

Before Tryp…

Rideshare apps were pretty good. Since their initial rise, services like Uber and Lyft have managed to disrupt the transportation industry, getting people from A-to-B with relatively few hiccups along the way. Still, these apps suffer from a “corporate-forward” approach that sucks time, energy, and money from their users while lining the pockets of the executives in charge.

As these corporations exploded with growth, they, unfortunately, became more concerned with the bottom line than the welfare of their users. Issues quickly began to arise involving safety, drivers’ employment status, governmental regulations, unfair pricing, and a so much more. We watched this situation unfold from the sidelines like a slow-motion car accident. It didn’t take long until we realized that something needed to be done. And that’s when the idea for Tryp was born…

Uber, Lyft, and the others like them did a tremendous job of disrupting the transportation sector and establishing the current rideshare industry. They shook up the realm of transportation and ushered in the new “Gig Economy” era.

And now, it’s time for things to be shaken up once more.

Our goal is to disrupt the rideshare industry by creating a unique platform where all users can easily attain the power, respect, and earnings potential that they deserve.

So how are we planning to do that?

A Quick Look at the Drawing Board for Tryp’s Creation…

We see more than a few problems with the current state of affairs in the rideshare industry. Here is a handful that we felt Tryp could address.

Drivers are expected to fork over 25–30% (at least) of their paycheck to their “rideshare employers”. The more they drive, the more money the “employers” make off of their labor. That just doesn’t seem fair to us.

Drivers should be able to operate their rideshare services like a true business. They should be provided with the technology and customers needed to succeed on their own terms. That seems like a no brainer.

Most rideshare companies give their riders and drivers a pretty measly one-time referral bonus when they share the app with new users. They also rarely reward users for their loyalty. We knew we could do so much better.

There needed to be a way for riders, drivers, and influencers to actually earn money by getting new users to sign up. That’s why we created one!

Tryp was formed as a comprehensive solution to the problems listed above. So, what is it exactly?

Tryp is…

A Software as a Service (SaaS) provider.

A rideshare app with a decentralized approach where everyone earns.

A unique referral marketing opportunity.

An innovative platform for providing on-demand transportation services that helps all users earn more, get where they’re going more efficiently, and enjoy peace of mind during their entire trip.

Understanding the Platform

To help you fully understand Tryp, we should take a closer look at our users. After all, we are hoping to usher in a new era of user-centric ridesharing with a decentralized approach.

The people who use our platform are all members of a growing community of rideshare enthusiasts eager to earn, share, ride, and drive. They are our Drivers, Riders, Influencers, and Driver/Influencer Combos.

The Tryp Drivers

Drivers are the backbone of the Tryp’s entire operation. They are the primary customers of our SaaS. They pay a low subscription fee of $199/month to receive unlimited access to our app, to utilize our online tools and resources, and to keep 100% of the fare* and tip from each ride. Drivers have the opportunity to use our platform entirely for free if they can successfully refer 3 new drivers to Tryp. As long as those drivers remain active, the referring user will be able to take home 100% of the profit* from each ride without paying us a single cent.

In this way, we’re helping Drivers operate their rideshare gig like a standalone business. They run the show and keep 100% of the profit*, we simply supply the technology and customers necessary to succeed.

Unlike other rideshare paradigms, Tryp Drivers pay the same low monthly fee for their membership regardless of how much they drive and earn. That means they have an opportunity to easily make 30–40% more than the average Uber or Lyft driver for the same amount of work. And that percentage can get as high as they want!

There’s no cap to how much a Tryp driver can earn and they’ll always pay us the same rate. With Uber or Lyft, the more you drive and earn, the more the corporation makes from your labor. With Tryp, you pay us a flat fee, and you keep 100% of everything* you decide to earn. We don’t get richer just because you do. That wouldn’t be fair.

The Tryp Riders

But if we’re so “driver forward”, why should riders want to use Tryp?

That’s a fair question. And riding with Tryp is probably not for everyone. Here are a few reasons why people might not like riding with Tryp…

We pay you cash-redeemable points for each time you use the app.

You earn a cash referral bonus for each new user you share the app with.

You continue to earn a cash bonus for each time that same user takes a ride with Tryp!

There’s no limit to the number of riders you can have within your referral network.

Oh, yea! And we have absolutely no surge pricing. Ever!

If you aren’t interested in earning easy cash-redeemable rewards points or If that all just generally sounds horrible to you, then you’re probably in the minor fraction of the population that Tryp isn’t meant for

Seriously though, we pay our riders to use the app. We pay them to refer new riders. We continue to pay them each time those referrals use the app. It’s simple, it’s effective, and it can be incredibly lucrative.

Plus, when the drivers earn more, riders benefit from smoother rides. And when everyone is saving and earning more together while getting to where they need to go, the community grows a lot stronger, happier, and more eager to enjoy the freedom of the road.

The Tryp Influencers

As we mentioned above, we saw a desperate need to provide a rideshare platform where users could make it their full-time gig to refer new riders and drivers. It makes sense to pay people to help build a community that they feel proud to be a part of. That’s how the Tryp Influencer came to fruition.

Our Influencers earn cash for each driver and rider that they get to sign up with Tryp. And, unlike with other crummy rideshare referral programs, we continue to pay those Influencers on a monthly basis depending on the size of their active referral network. If they refer 3 drivers, they continue to earn cash for each month that those drivers remain active!

Similar to the Drivers, Tryp Influencers are our SaaS customers and pay a low annual subscription fee to access our comprehensive referral marketing suite. For $149/year, we give our influencers a complete toolkit filled with everything they could need to refer our platform to newcomers and build a network of continuous prosperity.

The Tryp Driver/Influencers

Those that want to earn the most with Tryp become both a Driver and Influencer. For a discounted rate, our Driver/Influencers can access the marketing suite and driver toolkit that will allow them to create lucrative referral networks, earn so much more while driving, and operate their rideshare gig like a complete, standalone business.

The (Mostly) Decentralized Rideshare SaaS

Tryp offers rideshare software to drivers who want to provide riders with on-demand transportation. Drivers get their own merchant accounts and get paid directly by the rider. We never touch a cent of the driver’s earnings for the fare and tip from each ride! That’s how we’ve created a mostly decentralized rideshare platform that gives the individual users the power that they deserve.

Subscription Model vs Profit-Share Model

Our drivers and influencers pay a low membership fee to access our tools and technology and to connect with other users. In exchange, they get to keep 100% of everything* that they earn. With Uber or Lyft, the more drivers make, the more they take. With Tryp, drivers pay the same amount each month regardless of how much they earn. That’s why it’s called rideshare, not profit-share.

A Community of Earners

That’s also why we refer to our Tryp users as a community of earners. Our riders, drivers, influencers, and driver/influencers all earn from, utilize, and grow within our platform. With our cross-user referral and loyalty programs, on-demand transportation SaaS, and countless bonus offerings, there’s literally never a moment when Tryp is being used that everyone involved isn’t earning. It’s a cycle of winning and it’s something we’re extremely excited to share with the world.

That’s why we created Tryp. That’s why we continue to make it the most innovative and unique rideshare services on the market. And that’s why we’d love to have you join our community!
