Certified Problem Solver

Ivee (goivee.com) is a verified active project focused on in-vehicle infotainment and advertising for ride-hail fleets. Significant real-world traction was confirmed via a documented partnership with Creative Mobile Technologies (CMT) to deploy in 10,000 taxis (April 2024), validating the business model beyond the '200,000 passengers' claim. However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing false hyperboles like 'everyone' for audience reach and 'most people' for traction, as well as misclassifying the business as a 'Return-to-work platform'. While the physical footprint and B2B partnerships demonstrate legitimate scale potential (comparable to established niche players), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of professional detail and accurate metrics in the submission.

Description
With an astounding 225 million minutes per day spent in ride-hailing vehicles today, Ivee believes that passengers will expect more from their time in ride-hail vehicles. We see a $200B market opportunity generated by enhancing the passenger experience in ride-hail vehicles, autonomous cars, and other transportation methods.\n\nHaving served more than 200,000 ride-hail passengers, our product has been tested, proven, and recognized for innovation by Plug \u0026 Play, Verizon, Mediapost, and the National Retail Federation. Our first product, Ivee Inside, helps ride-hail passengers make the most of their time on the go. Ivee's front end technology most resembles an Amazon Echo Show / Google Nest Hub device. And our back-end is like Apple Car Play/ Android Auto for shared vehicles. \n\nIvee's in-vehicle technology gives passengers control of the cabin, content, and commerce. Ivee-enabled vehicles create rides that are relaxing, entertaining, and rewarding.
