Teddy Leonard, iRYDE Founder & CEO
Teddy noticed that ride share drivers in the Jacksonville and surrounding areas in Florida, shared his displeasure in the way compensation was earned. Drivers also expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of support ride share companies were providing to their drivers. As Teddy pondered on the dilemma, he had the idea of creating a ride share company, that valued its drivers and their ability to earn the highest wages possible. That was the beginning of the iRYDE vision.
Teddy Leonard founded iRYDE in 2020 and the initial idea was to provide an improved version of ride sharing. However, Teddy was also beginning to understand how Blockchain Technology worked and became a blockchain enthusiast. Through researching and studying this technology, the idea to transform how ridesharing would evolve was born. Teddy recognized the potential of iRYDE as an unstoppable engine of mass transactions across countless countries all over the world. iRYDE from an idea into a Global Movement.
