Arcade City is a ride-sharing startup, arguably aiming for the same space as Uber and Lyft. But according to David, his startup extends beyond this set-up, offering drivers the type of decentralized autonomy and freedom that they’re unlikely to find elsewhere. In turn, riders are given the opportunity to review driver profiles in advance, sort of “Tinder” style, and select the ones they prefer. Drivers have the liberty to determine their own rates using a ‘pay what you think is fair’ model and can offer additional services like roadside assistance, package pickup or even grocery store deliveries.
Arcade City’s mobile app launched this month on the Apple and Android app stores to much acclaim. And there has already been a tsunami of interest with over 1,000 rides facilitated in hundreds of cities across 27 states, as well as in Australia (Mexico, Canada, and Sweden are commencing this spring).
BTCMANAGER had a chance to talk directly with Christopher David by phone from his home base of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Thoughtful, open and passionate in his words, David started by explaining how it all got started, his plans for the future, and why he chose to build on Ethereum.
