We previously received $30M+ to build front UI/UX and backend tech stack for Freebird Rides beta testing. We are currently engaged in raising $5 million dollars for our national launch.
Freebird’s significant advantage is in its unique user data. By integrating with transportation and payment systems, we construct detailed profiles that reveal our users’ travel and purchasing patterns, alongside a wealth of information pertaining to their interests, hobbies, and lifestyle.
Freebird aggregates and anonymizes consumer rideshare data from three (3) primary proprietary sources:
*compliance with all privacy regulations; Freebird Ride users are paid for their data by opting into rides.
Redeem promotions, cash back, and rewards when traveling near local businesses.
Our integration with travel apps such as Uber, Lyft, Bird, and more gives us the ability to offer highly personalized ads that you can redeem at your destination.
Lower costs across the board – less real estate, no labor, no staffing, and no fees to update or change deals, promotions or graphics.
Vendors, restaurants, and bars can change their promotions any second to drive business and added value to their clients and customers.
Freebird app users can see what’s going on in their area, and select the best places for maximum rewards, promotions or cash back incentives.
Leading brands can offer added incentive and value to promote new products, strengthen identity, or completely free rides home to ensure safety.
Between soaring social media marketing prices, advertising models that doesn’t convert, staffing, overhead expenses and unforeseen costs, business owners face an uphill battle to turn a profit. These costs can pigeon hole a business, and make also make and expansion difficult.
You can influence whether customers choose to go to your business vs. another bar or restaurant, plus you can increase average checks, improve customer loyalty, all without risking a single dollar.
Many ad agencies provide services for a fee without transparent ad spend details. Social media marketing offers insight but lacks ad flexibility during the ad spend. Freebird’s edge lies in its exclusive user data. By integrating with transport and payment systems, we offer tailored ad solutions with 24/7 customization for cost-effective business opportunities.
The demand for our solution is evident with over 600k+ downloads and a 4.8 Star Rating in the App Store during our beta test.
For businesses, Freebird has created the same closed-loop advertising model as Google, but in the physical world. For brands, any ride category can be sponsored in any market with points or cash.
We have four primary channels for making money through our business model.
Rideshare Consumer: Earns cash and rewards by booking their Uber and Lyft rides through the Freebird app.
Destination Businesses: Directly target and acquire/convert/ retain revenue-generating customers by offering cash-back or other rewards, with directly measurable Return-On-Investment (ROI) in a Pay for Transaction.
Data platform: Freebird provides its customers access to a proprietary data platform combining rideshare, credit card spend data and user survey information analysis in order to create targeted and more effective offers Branded Rides.
Brands can own ride categories and sponsor the ride experience and to acquire, convert, and retain customers. During our Beta Launch, Guinness paid for over 5,000 Freebird Safe Rides Home.
By delivering instant rideshare credit to Freebird users who booked their ride through Freebird. Guinness experienced significant brand reach and enhancement with over 225,000 views and interactions as a result of the promotion.
