Sure thing! We hire primarily out of SF, NYC, and Seattle -- in-person has boosted our productivity and been a lot more fun for us! Transparently, we have made a few exceptions, and are not entirely opposed to more, but it's really the

Hi all, I'm Snir -- I lead engineering here at Retool. I wanted to follow up on the above. Solving the round trip problem David mentioned above involves multi-region for our entire backend, inclusive of our DB. This is definitely a pri

Sure, in some sense :) This model exists under a number of names: Pesero, Jittney, Monit Sherut (to name a few). That said, it's not just an app that we've built. It's a system that can make dynamic decisions about which rout

Absolutely :) There are lot of systems like this that we took as inspiration. See my comment below on how we formalized this type of transit, and built something that can make more objective decisions as to whether the pairing "makes s

Lyft pairs one passenger (or equivalently, one party) to one driver. We've built a system which will actually take your route into consideration, and pair you with additional passengers that are en-route (relative to you). In other wor

Response has been really good (a subjective answer :)). For more objectivity, we've received ~40 leads for one CL post, and got about 10 leads in small little twitter campaign ($5 ad). People seem to be genuinely excited about collabor

We haven't, but that's a great idea. There are some limitations that tether us to cities (so networks like SamTrans in Palo Alto aren't ideal), but AC in the East Bay would be an excellent fit. Thanks!

We've actually been working on something like this for San Francisco (and we plan to expand onwards after operating here): http://www.takehitch.com The municipality tends to work a little slower here (chatted a bit with SFM

Glad you like it! We dont have any revenue sharing relationships in place with any of the services we link out to. We don't have any plans to monetize at present either. We found ourselves switching out between these different apps whenever

Strange. They should be distinct. I'll look into it. On the biking side, we're considering looking at joins between biking and other modes of transit. So for example, you could bike an extra mile and get on a different, more direct bus/trai

We would be happy to take any of those providers down from our listing if they reach out to us. As we perceive it, if they chose to be removed, they provide an advantage to their competitors. We're listing them as benefit to our user base,
