Has anyone at Wayne State tried Wayvers yet? We'd love to hear about your experience!

I recently launched a rideshare startup in Michigan called Wayvers after becoming frustrated with how much riders pay and how little drivers often receive.

When I started researching the industry, I was surprised by how much money rideshare companies make while both riders and drivers frequently complain about pricing. That got me thinking: what if the platform only took a small fixed fee instead?

Our model is simple. Wayvers keeps $2 per ride as the company fee regardless of distance, and the remaining difference stays between the rider and driver. The goal is to make rides more affordable for passengers while allowing drivers to keep more of what they earn.

We just went live in Michigan first then will move nationwide, and fortunately we have a marketing budget available. My challenge now is figuring out the most efficient way to spend it.

If you were launching a rideshare company from scratch in a single state, where would you put your first marketing dollars?

I'm not here to pitch the app. I'm genuinely looking for advice from founders, marketers, drivers, and riders who have seen what works and what doesn't.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?
