Full description — before

Rides is a car community platform built for and by enthusiasts. We want to give people a purpose built way to connect with other people that share their love of cars & motorcycles and creates showcases that give every vehicle a page that let's its design, performance, modifications & story take center stage. A social network where the cars shine and the community connects exactly how we do offline and on the road... around a shared passion.

There are millions of startups started every year… and that is going to grow by an order of magnitude over the next several years with AI making shipping a product nearly free. YC is the best opportunity for a startup, and Pre can help everyone else.
