Reasons to invest 

October 2020, Earth Rides launched in Nashville, TN completing 2,500 rides with 2,400 downloads with only three (3) vehicles. From January to June 2021, Earth had 18,000 new users and 47,000 riders from  50 partners. We kept the momentum going from July to December 2021 with 25,100 new users, 65,000 riders, from 75 new partners. 

2021 we kept our CAC low ($5) and LTV high ($86). Our current competitors (LY), average a CAC of $32 and an LTV of $19 after 8 years of operating.

August 2021, Earth Rides launched in Austin, TX. In our first (1st) month of operations, we saw revenue, ridership, and user downloads that took us four (4) months in Nashville to hit.

The Short Story of how Earth Rides was born...

My mother and Abuela grew up in Panama. Experiencing and learning from their difficulties, drove me to law school. Immigrants are often sold the story that to be successful, becoming a doctor or lawyer is the only way. This is what drove me to law school.

While completing my JD from Pepperdine University Law, I experienced serious difficulties with my health. My view of a healthy lifestyle and what health means for me and the people around me drastically shifted. I realized I had to create a more significant impact.

I wanted other people to recognize health is more than eating right and exercising. Not only that, but they could have the same luxuries without making tremendous sacrifices. It was then Earth Rides was born.

Why start in Nashville?

Nashville offered us an emerging market where we could start our grassroots business while making a considerable impact on the environment. Further, I wanted to make an impact on where I was from and improve the air quality. Nashville has air quality similar to Los Angeles on many days. But, Nashville only has 2 Million people compared to L.A.'s 13 Million.

Delivery Pilot - Food and Retail 

Earth Rides has partnered with Patagonia Nashville to offer on-demand delivery of their products. This allows Patagonia to deliver within the hour and without any packaging all the while reducing their carbon footprint.

In November 2021, we diversified into food delivery with Nashville-based Eat Placemat which focuses on inspiring, nourishing, and improving communities through feel-good food experiences. We deliver 250+ meals weekly which has allowed us to begin phasing into onboarding more delivery partners. 

LIFE Program ("Living Inspired for Earth") 

Earth Rides drivers are trained to serve the ID community.

Earth Rides launched the LIFE Program in May of 2021 to provide reliable rides to the Intellectually Disabled Community ("ID")  Drivers on Earth go through training modules to show extra steps have been taken to ensure the ID community is being served. In Nashville, Earth served over 75+ riders in the LIFE Program completing over 1,200 rides. 

Safety

Our riders love that oftentimes they have the same driver. Each driver is FBI background checked and passes a series of interviews and ongoing training.

Carbon

We are uniquely positioned to sell our carbon offsets on the open market due to our ability to track each mile logged vs the amount of carbon a gas ride would have generated.
