Uber wasn’t built for our generation.
Not built for our budgets.
The drivers aren’t cutting it.
And we’ve got the least IRL connection of any generation.
Fixing these issues is the bet Yelo — a Forbes 30 Under 30 startup — is making.
We’re Gen Z kids building what Uber missed:
I. No Middleman.
Riders pay 60% less — because drivers keep 100% of every fare.
II. Mutuals driving. Not strangers.
Option to get picked up by a mutual, not a stranger.
III. Social by design.
See where rides are going. Unlock deals. Meet your newest situationship.
Yelo is seeking an exceptional full-stack software developer with 1-3+ years of full-time experience at a hyper-growth startup.
Raised from top-tier VC’s (investors in Chime & Seat Geek)
We’re now building the engineering team to match.
