Really interesting concept - the problem you're solving is clear and the timing feels right. Would love to see how you approach user acquisition in the early stages.
Solid idea with a clear gap in the market. The verification and trust layer will be key as you scale, it looks like you've thought about that carefully.
Clean execution on the landing page. The value proposition comes through immediately which is hard to get right. Excited to see where this goes.
Hey StartupBase! I'm Michael, founder of Hitch.
I was sitting in traffic one day watching every car around me have empty seats. Millions of people, same roads, same time, completely alone - while train fares keep rising, petrol costs are punishing solo drivers and ULEZ zones keep expanding.
Hitch connects verified drivers and passengers heading the same way to split the actual cost of the journey. Not a taxi, not Uber. Just real people, same destination, shared costs.
Safety is built in from day one: government ID verification, selfie match, women-only mode, live trip sharing and a full ratings system.
The landing page is live at hitchapp.co.uk and founding members are already signing up. Would love your feedback and support. 🚗
