Are you sick of commuting to work by yourself? Wouldn't it be nice to find people in your local area who commute back and forth to the same areas everyday just like you? Imagine all the money you'd save by sharing expenses and not racking up extra miles on your car. Well this problem is a daily reality for tens of millions of Americans and Scoop is trying to solve it. Their platform connects you with ride sharing matches in your area. Just download (itunes or android) the free Scoop app today and get started. No more boring trips to and from work. No more exceeding your allowed mileage on your leased car. Scoop makes ride sharing fun and accessible. 

In this episode I speak with Robert Sadow, the co-founder of Scoop about the overall ride sharing market and how they are trying to solve the problems. Robert started the company with his brother so we chat about that dimension as well because working with family can get complicated. We also talked about running their initial pilot program, selling this service to large companies, raising money, acquiring users, how their pricing works, upcoming expansion plans, and the future of ride sharing and Scoop.
