The Roam™ marketplace

We’re a pre-funded, stealth-mode startup venture. We’re planning to productize our proprietary approach to shared mobility by building and scaling a two-sided marketplace for our users – car owners and riders. In addition to making it easy and rewarding to get anywhere, our app will enable our users to finally launch the sharing economy and at the same time strengthen their communities. Please visit our website to learn more. Please also visit our LinkedIn page.

Join our team!

In addition to being experienced in coding (to build the overlap tool) and data analytics (to analyze the anonymized movement data generated), our developers will also build on and evolve the overlap tool into a market-ready MVP. We’re technology agnostic, as long as the technologies in which you have experience are relevant to the tasks ahead. We hope you’ll join us!

We look forward to meeting you!

What we need:

We’re looking for a mobile developer and a backend developer to work with us (PT or FT okay) for the next 3-6 months. Then, post-funding, we hope you will join us FT with salary, benefits and equity as compensation. We’re an experienced and hard-working team that’s brimming with confidence and looking forward to making a big impact.

Why consider us:

Most efforts to bring tech to the activity of carpooling have focused on matching people who have common destinations. We think this is flawed. A better approach is to match people who have common origins because such people are often headed in the same direction at about the same time. In fact, we are confident that overlaps in departure times and routes happen so often that part of our investment thesis reads as follows: people in similar locations make similar trips.

What we’ll together achieve:

To validate our investment thesis, we need to run an overlap experiment. To do this, we need to build an overlap tool (both IOS and Android) that groups of highly proximate individuals can download to their phones and keep running in the background while they go about their lives, for about one month. Specifically, each group will have 5-10 participants who either live in the same neighborhood, attend the same school, or regularly visit a shared location for some purpose. In the experiment’s subsequent monthly cycles, the group size should grow to generate more overlap data.
