Story
A college based technology start up that connects students riders with student drivers. The students riders were required to pay a tip (not a regular fare) in return for a ride offered by a fellow student driver. The start ups mission is to reduce drunk driving incidents & accidents among college students.
Problem
The students did not tip their drivers enough though they valued the service.

Cause
The target users (registered college students) had a weak purchasing power and hence did not understand the monetary value of the service.
Solution
An Android/iOS mobile application that educated the target user and increased volume of paid rides. The product strategy differentiated the start up from Uber/Lyft to be the preferred transportation service for students.
