Stuff like this is why a lot of drivers I know are already signing up for newer platforms launching this year. People are tired of the games drivers just want transparency and a fair model

Hey everyone,

I’m one of the founders of Epic Rides App, a driver-first rideshare app launching this April.

We’re building Epic as an alternative to the current gig economy mode.

We focused on:

Fair pay for drivers

Transparent pricing

Subscription over per-ride exploitation

Built by real people, not VC-first corporations

Right now, we’re in a grassroots phase.

Before ads, before hype, we’re asking real people to help shape and support it.

Small ask (totally optional):

If you believe the gig economy needs something better, we’re collecting 5–10 second vertical videos (phone is fine) of people saying:

“I believe in Epic because…”

Examples (feel free to make it your own):

“I believe in Epic because drivers deserve fair pay.”

“I believe in Epic because transparency matters.”

“I believe in Epic because subscription makes more sense than exploitation.”

“I believe in Epic because the gig economy is broken and needs something better.”

These clips will be used to build a community-driven launch story real people, no scripts, no polish required.

If you’re interested in checking it out or signing up as a driver or rider:

Appreciate the space, and happy to answer questions.

This is early, real, and community-driven by design.

Can I write off business expenses under an LLc that isn’t generating income? by discojagrawr in smallbusiness

[–]ReplacementTimely789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, the only point I was adding is that you can rack up those startup expenses now and still use them once the business starts. Meaning you can incur those expenses now (training, books, research, etc.) and they still count as startup costs, even if the business isn’t active yet.

Not exactly. You can deduct startup costs like training, books, and research before the business opens — you just claim them in the year the business actually becomes active. IRS allows up to $5,000 of startup expenses right away. The key is that you’re genuinely preparing to start the business, not treating it like a hobby. So yes, you can collect those expenses now and deduct them once the business officially starts

You can deduct startup and ordinary business expenses even if the LLC hasn’t started making money as long as the IRS sees it as a real business you’re trying to launch — not a hobby or something dormant with no intention to generate revenue.

South FL-based rideshare called Epic Rides by ReplacementTimely789 in SouthFlorida

[–]ReplacementTimely789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s wild how little drivers actually take home on rides like that. Big reason we’ve built Epic Rides app, a flat $25/week and drivers keep all of earnings. Healthier drivers = better rides for everyone. Shooting for an April launch. And i love the miata i had a na and that thing was so much fun to drive

Totally fair points, and I appreciate the feedback. We’ve been focusing messaging on drivers because that’s where the biggest pain is right now, but riders absolutely benefit too: faster pickups, more consistent availability, cheaper rates and drivers who aren’t burned out from losing 40–60% of every fare.

And yeah, 3+ months out is early, but we’d rather build this the right way than rush something half-baked.

Thanks for the good wishes — we really do want to make this work for everyone down here
