My name is Arij, and I’ve been around the motor trade my whole life. Over time, I began to notice a recurring problem: people often find themselves in situations where they can’t drive their own car, whether due to a night out, unexpected fatigue, or medical reasons. Too often, they’re left with tough choices—risk driving while impaired, leave their car in a vulnerable location, or struggle to find an alternative.
As someone passionate about optimisation and efficiency in the developing technological era, the motor industry beyond just sales, I saw an opportunity to offer a service that could make a real difference. ShiftMe was born from the idea that safety should always come first, and it doesn’t have to be difficult or costly to achieve that.
Our primary vision is simple: to reduce drink-driving and impaired driving, helping to make roads safer for everyone. We believe that when people have a reliable, convenient, and affordable way to move both themselves and their cars, they’ll be less tempted to take the wheel after drinking or when they’re too tired.
But ShiftMe goes beyond just being a service for people who are too drunk to drive. We aim to assist in all kinds of scenarios—whether you’ve had a long day, going to purchase a new car, taken medication that impairs your ability to drive, are a new driver struggling to adjust to the roads, or simply feel unsafe driving in poor weather conditions. We’ll be there to get both you and your car home safely.
Our main goal with this Crowdfund is to raise enough funding to get the company off it's feet, and develop to a level where it can be pitched to industrial investors.
