Subscription, not commission
Drivers pay a fixed Kindred plan and keep the full fare shown on the ride. Stripe Connect handles onboarding, payouts, instant payout eligibility, and tax reporting.
NYC-first rideshare by Berry Street Research LLC
Kindred
A calmer, native iOS rideshare experience where drivers subscribe to the platform, keep the full ride fare, and riders get transparent, preference-aware trips.
Built around the driver relationship.
Kindred preserves the driver-owned economics that make subscription rideshare compelling, then wraps it in operational controls that make the experience dependable.
Driver-set rate cards
Base fare, per-mile, per-minute, minimum fare, and pickup filters are configurable by market and driver, with rider holds and disclosure built in.
No bad requests by default
Minimum fare, max pickup ETA, favorite-rider mode, and exception thresholds are native controls instead of support-ticket workarounds.
The rider app feels native, direct, and predictable.
Every high-friction feature is designed as an obvious control, not a hidden policy: preferences, credits, trip help, cancellation, fare holds, and no-driver fallback.
Choose how you ride
Favorite drivers, same-gender matching, vehicle tiers, accessible rides, credits, referrals, lost items, and support are first-class app flows.
Clear fare holds
Riders see the fare, payment hold, cancellation windows, fees, and when a fare changes after driver assignment.
NYC-first safety
The app starts geofenced to New York City with TLC document workflows, compliance launch gates, background location controls, and trip audit trails.
Launch-gated for NYC, configurable for every next market.
Market configuration controls dispatch, compliance mode, service radius, fare rules, cancellation windows, subscription plans, and app copy. NYC launches only after the required TLC/HVFHS approvals are in place.
