Louis' Bio:
Louis Paulucci is the founder of YUR Drivers Network, a newly launched ride-sharing company operating in the five boroughs of New York City. A successful businessman who has lead companies in multiple industries over the last 40 years, Paulucci came up with the idea to start a ride-sharing company based on his observations while using rideshare services, where he consistently encountered dissatisfied drivers who felt overworked and underpaid, while simultaneously, passengers he knew voiced numerous complaints. He conducted extensive research, including personally completing over 1,700 rides as a driver and organizing focus groups with both drivers and passengers. Through this process, Paulucci identified significant inefficiencies within the rideshare ecosystem, and he decided to establish YUR Drivers Network with the aim of creating a more equitable environment that benefits both drivers and passengers. As a result, YUR Drivers Network is committed to providing a superior ride-share experience through its patented revenue-sharing program, industry-high driver payment rates, unparalleled in-app biometric security features, and a commitment to no-surge pricing. YUR aims to empower both drivers and passengers by fostering a fair and transparent community-driven platform.
