Company mission
To build a last mile marketplace that puts riders first.
33% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Ryde believes that even though couriers are essential in a booming economy they are currently treated unfairly. For example, low pay, poor working conditions and the lack of flexibility are the norm in this profession. Ryde is setting out to change this by creating a marketplace that connects businesses with last-mile delivery riders and drivers. The company ensures flexibility and same-day delivery for businesses whilst prioritising the well-being of couriers.
Ryde has clients from various industries, such as restaurants, e-commerce, retail and logistics. Whilst next-day delivery has increasingly become the norm in the UK, it's expected that the next step in parcel logistics will become same-day delivery. This presents big opportunities for businesses, yet they also need to be prepared to adapt. Ryde has the potential to help businesses with this transformation.
Ryde's funding has enabled the company to invest in increasing its customer base, creating additional features, and expansion, as the world's first fully-integrated delivery management platform.
