The problem
The Problem GG RIDE Solves
The ride-sharing industry in Romania and across Europe faces a crisis of trust and balance between platforms, drivers, customers, and authorities.
Current systems are dominated by centralized models, abusive commissions, and a lack of transparency that affects all participants.
1. The Real Problems in the Market
For Drivers:
- Commissions that are too high (25–35%), drastically reducing net income.
- No control over fares or over their own activity.
- No direct relationship with the platform or the community.
- No opportunity to participate in the success of the platform.
For Customers:
- Fluctuating and unpredictable prices.
- Lack of transparency regarding real costs.
- Major differences in quality and experience between drivers.
- Lack of safety and clear traceability of rides.
For Authorities:
- Difficulties in monitoring digital and fiscal compliance.
- Lack of operators fully compliant with ADR (Romanian Digital Authority).
- No local platform that keeps most capital and taxes inside Romania.
2. The Effect of These Problems
Drivers lose motivation, switch constantly between apps, or leave the industry.
Customers lose trust, feeling they pay too much for unstable services.
The state loses fiscal and digital control, and the local economy does not benefit from the financial flows generated by ride-sharing.
In short:
The current ride-sharing model is unbalanced, non-transparent, and socially inefficient.
3. What GG RIDE Solves
GG RIDE rebalances the system, offering a fair, local, and fully transparent solution:
Actor | Problem | GG RIDE Solution
Drivers | Abusive commissions, no control | Fixed subscription 21 EUR, clear statistics, possibility to engage in the GG RIDE community
Customers | Variable fares, no predictability | Fixed price shown before ride, real rating system, enhanced safety
Authorities | Lack of compliance and transparent data | 100% IT-audited platform, ADR compliant, fiscalized in Romania
4. In Essence, the Problem GG RIDE Solves
The lack of balance and trust in the relationship between platform, driver, and customer.
GG RIDE restores balance:
- through financial fairness (21 EUR subscription);
- through technological transparency (IT audit + ADR);
- through real partnership between the company, drivers, and the community.
5. Long-Term Result
- Higher income and stability for drivers.
- Fair prices and safety for customers.
- Fiscal and digital compliance for authorities.
- Romanian capital that remains in the local economy.

Our Solution
How We Solve the Problem – The GG RIDE Solution
GG RIDE solves the current imbalance in the ride-sharing market through a simple but revolutionary approach:
a fair, transparent, and legally compliant model in which drivers, customers, and the platform are real partners, not adversaries.
1. Full Transparency for All Parties
Problem:
Current platforms hide pricing formulas and apply unclear dynamic fares, harming both customers and drivers.
GG RIDE Solution:
- Displaying the full and final fare before the ride.
- Transparency (21 euro/week subscription).
- Permanent access to earnings history and ride logs.
- Internal automatic reporting system (available for authorities and partners).
Result: increased trust, zero surprises, and full control for users.
2. Fair Financial Model
Problem:
Drivers lose up to 30–35% of their income due to excessive commissions.
GG RIDE Solution:
- A 21 euro/week subscription with no hidden fees.
- Optional monthly subscription for drivers who want additional savings.
- Instant payout of earnings in cash or via card POS in the car.
Result: more predictable income, stronger loyalty, and stable financial flow for the platform.
3. Digital Compliance and Safety (ADR Ready)
Problem:
Most ride-sharing platforms do not comply with ADR (Romanian Digital Authority) requirements and do not offer full traceability.
GG RIDE Solution:
- Platform developed and audited according to ADR standards.
- European cloud architecture (EU servers, GDPR compliant).
- Automated digital reports and complete traceability for every ride.
Result: institutional trust and elimination of the risk of platform suspension.
4. Local Engagement and Partnerships
Problem:
Global models ignore local markets and do not reinvest in the community.
GG RIDE Solution:
- Community micro-investment model (drivers and customers can become partner-investors).
- Partnerships with local authorities, NGOs, and regional companies.
- Promotion of the Romanian digital mobility brand across the EU.
Result: the platform becomes a local project supported by people, not a foreign corporation extracting profits.
5. Innovation and Proprietary Technology
Problem:
Existing platforms are closed systems, hard to adapt, and controlled from outside the EU.
GG RIDE Solution:
- Proprietary, internally adapted software.
- Full control over updates, security, and integrations.
- Dedicated technical team (GG RIDE Romania + GG RIDE LLC Delaware).
Result: digital independence and real scalability in Europe.
6. Transparent Corporate Structure
Problem:
Lack of clarity between legal entities (platform, developer, fiscal operator).
GG RIDE Solution:
- Clear relationship between GG RIDE LLC (USA) and GG RIDE ROMANIA SRL (EU) through a formal corporate agreement.
- Optimized fiscal transfer, compliant with US and EU legislation.
- Annual financial audit and public reporting for investors.
Result: complete trust from partners and investors.
7. Summary: How We Change the Game
Area | Current Problem | GG RIDE Solution
Finance | 25–35% commissions | Fixed subscription 21 euro/week
Legal | Lack of compliance | 100% audited and authorized platform
Driver Relationship | Low loyalty | Partnership + community micro-investments
Technology | External control | Proprietary and scalable architecture
Brand | Foreign dominance | Romanian project with international vision
8. Final Summary
GG RIDE solves the imbalance in the ride-sharing market through a unique combination of proprietary technology, legal compliance, and financial fairness.
Drivers earn more.
Customers pay fair prices.
Authorities can verify transparently.
This is what fair mobility looks like. This is GG RIDE.IDE.

Market Opportunity
Market Opportunity – GG RIDE
The alternative transport market in Romania and the European Union is undergoing accelerated transformation, driven by three major forces:
- digitalization and regulation of mobility services,
- growing demand for safe and affordable transport,
- the need for local, transparent, and legally compliant platforms.
These shifts create a unique opportunity for a new operator – GG RIDE – which combines American technological advantage with European legal structure.
1. Current Market Context
In Romania:
- 6 million active ride‑sharing users.
- 60,000+ active drivers (Uber, Bolt).
- Estimated 2025 market value: over 800 million EUR.
- 3 out of 4 drivers consider current commissions too high (over 35%).
- 40% of users say they would switch to a more transparent, local service.
In the European Union:
- The ride‑sharing market surpassed 15 billion EUR in 2024, with an average growth of 20–25% per year.
- Digital regulations (EU directives and national authorization systems) create space for local operators who can comply with each member state’s legislation.
- Central and Eastern Europe are the most dynamic regions (Romania, Poland, Hungary).
2. Current Market Problems
- Global platforms operate with external fiscal structures, draining revenue from the local economy.
- High commissions (35%) reduce driver competitiveness and loyalty.

Business Model
Business Model – GG RIDE
GG RIDE operates on a hybrid business model that combines recurring revenue from alternative transport activity with complementary revenue from digital services and commercial partnerships.
The model is built on three main pillars: fixed weekly subscription and revenue from collaborations and advertising.
1. Main Revenue Streams
A. Fixed Subscription of 21 euro/week
GG RIDE applies a fixed subscription of 21 euro per week.
Drivers keep 100% of earnings, while the company uses the subscription for operations, maintenance, marketing, and technological development.
Fares are displayed fully before the ride is accepted, eliminating any uncertainty.
This model simplifies financial management and increases driver loyalty, reducing churn and recruitment costs.
B. Subscriptions for Active Drivers
Drivers may choose a fixed monthly subscription that reduces their per-ride commission to a preferential level.
Subscriptions include additional benefits:
- priority on orders during peak hours,
- access to promotions,
- dedicated technical support.
This system creates recurring revenue and stabilizes the platform’s financial flow.
Revenue from subscriptions can represent up to 25% of annual turnover.
C. Corporate Partnerships and Contracts
GG RIDE offers dedicated services to companies (employee transport, business subscriptions, corporate accounts).
These contracts generate predictable and constant revenue, with monthly invoicing.
The platform can integrate reporting systems for HR and accounting (automatic ride export).
The corporate segment has higher margins and stronger loyalty.
D. Advertising and Commercial Partnerships
Secondary revenue from promoting local brands inside the app (banners, offers for passengers).
Partnerships with fintech companies, car insurance providers, fuel suppliers, service centers, and payment applications.
This channel brings additional profit with no direct operational cost.
2. Cost Structure
Category | Description | Approx. % of Revenue
Technology & Maintenance | servers, licenses, IT team | 25%
Marketing & Partnerships | online campaigns, PR, promotions | 20%
Operations & Customer Support | staff and infrastructure | 15%
Compliance & Audit | ADR, fiscality, IT audit | 10%
Administrative & Legal | accounting, SRL + LLC, fees | 10%
Strategic Reserve / Development | expansion funds | 20%
The balanced structure allows operational profit in the first 12–18 months.
3. Financial Flow (Simplified)
1. The customer pays the ride through the app (card or digital wallet).
2. GG RIDE collects the 21 euro weekly subscription.
3. Drivers keep 100% of ride earnings, in cash or via POS in the car.
4. From the subscription, 35% is transferred to GG RIDE LLC (licensing, platform, software development), and 65% remains in GG RIDE ROMANIA SRL for local operations.
4. Scaling Model
GG RIDE has a geographically and digitally scalable model, with no major additional costs:
- each new city can be activated through local onboarding and digital campaigns;
- the software infrastructure supports unlimited user growth;
- the fiscal system is already configured for EU + USA operation.
Expansion in the European space requires only app localization and national licensing.
5. Competitive Advantages of the Model
Advantage | Impact
21 euro fixed subscription | High driver retention and financial predictability
Monthly subscriptions | Constant revenue flow, independent of seasonality
Corporate contracts | Stability and higher margins
SRL + LLC fiscal model | Optimization and transparency between EU and USA
Proprietary software | Independence and controlled costs
6. Summary
GG RIDE operates as a digital mobility platform with multiple revenue streams and full control over infrastructure and costs.
The business model ensures progressive profitability, international scalability, and full fiscal compliance, offering investors a solid and sustainable foundation.
