Empower’s mission is to transform the “Gig Economy” so that hard-working Americans can earn a sustainable living. This transformation begins with the rideshare industry. To do that, Empower has built innovative software that provides the information and tools that drivers need to take control of their financial future and the choices that riders need to safely and affordably get from point A to point B.

Empower is a software company that is disrupting the rideshare industry, not by providing transportation, but by providing software that puts transportation decisions back into the hands of drivers and riders. 

With Empower's software, drivers can set their own rates and receive 100% of what the rider pays. By decentralizing rideshare in this way, Empower enables drivers to build and grow their own business and earn a sustainable living. And riders benefit as well, paying 15-20% less on average and having greater choice over their driver than they do when using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft. ﻿With Empower, both drivers and riders win. 

TOGETHER WE WILL EMPOWER!
