See Jane Go, Inc., based in California, last month launched its women-driving-women ride-hail platform that offers a trusted alternative to existing ride-hail services. The company is placing women in the driver seat of the ride-hail industry by providing a same-sex atmosphere and eliminating barriers in a previously male-dominated industry.

See Jane Go is creating a movement to provide a new, trusted option for women to use ride-hail services for travelling or earning an income on their own terms. Until now, many women have shied away from the business opportunity of driving for a ride hail company, which led the founder of See Jane Go and prominent wealth manager, William Jordan, to be inspired by his two daughters to create a new choice for women in the ride-hail industry.

"Only 15 percent of Americans are early adopters of ride hail and one third of Americans are not familiar with existing ride-hail services. This creates ample opportunity for new market entrants that provide differentiation and value," said Jordan. "Additionally, only about 25 percent of drivers in the traditional ride-hail space are women. This illustrates a concern that might be causing them to be slow adopters of the driver opportunity."

See Jane Go offers women an enhanced driver experience and a better option to earn an income. Women can enjoy driving for a company that supports women worldwide through strategic partnerships and charitable contributions. Appealing to all women drivers, from the digitally savvy student to the smartphone-learning grandmother, See Jane Go provides women the ability to seamlessly and comfortably enter the ride-hail market.

With aggressive plans to expand in cities across the country, See Jane Go is first launching in Orange County, Calif., this fall and will empower the See Jane Go community to cast their vote for Jane's future cities by registering as a driver or passenger.

See Jane Go riders can enjoy the peace of mind knowing they are traveling comfortably with a qualified female driver, in a safety-inspected vehicle and with a portion of their fare going to charity. To become a See Jane Go driver or rider, people can register at www.seejanego.co. Interested investors are encouraged to visit the website to learn more about the investment opportunity.

See Jane Go was conceived on January 12, 2016 by William Jordan and his 18- and 15-year-old daughters during a typical "protective-father moment." Savannah wanted to drive for a ride-hail service, Skye wanted to ride in one, and Jordan was opposed to both. All three were concerned about the girls driving with unknown men. Today, See Jane Go is steered by an all-female executive management team and committed to providing the premier ride-hail service that meets the specific needs of female drivers and passengers.

See Jane Go is creating a movement to provide an alternative vehicle for women to earn an income on their terms. The new ride-hail platform supports women worldwide through strategic partnerships and charitable contributions with every ride.

Men are not completely excluded. They are allowed to ride with Jane, as long as a female passenger is with him and can vouch for him.
“The one thing that I love about See Jane Go is that it really does feel like family. We’re like a girlfriend,” Jordan said. “You’re not going to feel anxious when you’re getting into this car. It’s going to feel so comfortable to you.”

See Jane Go is the west coast version of a Boston company, SafeHer, which launched earlier this year.

SafeHer was founded by an ex-Uber driver in Boston who plans to pick up only female customers and boys under 13.

The founder, Michael Pelletz, said the idea for a safe, female-only ride sharing service came to him while picking up college-aged women from bars in the early hours of the morning in Boston, and him thinking how dangerous it was for them to be getting in cars with strange men. “I thought, 'Imagine if I were a predator.' It would be like a candy store,” Pelletz says.

According to Pelletz, SafeHer will only hire female drivers who have passed the most thorough background checks available — which he claims are more thorough than the ones Uber and Lyft use — and will have to answer security questions each time they start a shift. The app will also use a safe word that both the rider and the driver must use before the ride can begin, according to the company’s site.
