The Exponent: Making ride-sharing safer at Purdue
RIDE2U, a South Bend startup, is launching a ride-share app for Purdue students starting in August. Founder Chad Mastagh was inspired to create RIDE2U after a concerning encounter with a girl who mistakenly thought he was her Uber driver, emphasizing the importance of safety. The company differentiates itself by focusing on safety and quality while catering to underserved areas and college communities, with parents able to link accounts for reservations.
