Sustainable Transportation
Leveraging the Internet Community for Change
Tuesday May 12th, 2009
an evening In-depth Dialogue with: John Zimmer, Founder and COO, Zimride
Tuesday May 12th, 2009
7:00pm to 8:00, Intro & Presentation
8:00pm to 9:00, Group Dialogue
... networking one half hour before and after
About the Speaker
John Zimmer, 25 year old co-founder of Zimride moved from New York City to Palo Alto last summer by carpooling across the country. John left Lehman Brothers in early 2008, where he spent two years after graduating first in his class from Cornell University's Hotel School.
Event Summary
Whereas the previous generation used yearbooks, we now use Facebook. The past generation went hitchhiking, now we have ridesharing. The concept of Zimride is simple: find friends, classmates, and co-workers who are traveling the same way you are - thus saving money, reducing your carbon footprint, and increasing the commuting fun factor.
Built on the Facebook platform, Zimride leverages the trust inherent in online social networks to drive carpooling into the mainstream as a means of transportation. Zimride is currently in use at colleges, universities, and corporations across the country.
John will discuss the emergence of the concept for Zimride, the business case, case study, the traction for Zimride partnerships, and the future of the industry. Come join the discussion!
