The year has almost wound down and everyone's talking about the plans for New Year's Eve.

But does anyone think about the buzz kill that is the reality of getting to and from venues of entertainment?

Every year, thousands of young party goers flock to clubs, bars, house parties and other venues for a night of fun and entrainment but the trip to and from these places is locked in a dance of frustration, coordination and missed connections.

This is because of cars. Not the cars themselves but rather the large number of cars that end up taking a lot of people to the same, or similar places.

That's why we invented RideConnect. It's a smartphone app that can help you sort out your evening so that you can start the party when you step out rather than having to wait until you arrive at the venue. But that's oversimplifying it.

Why did we invent RideConnect?

We, at RideConnect, are people just like you. We don't like a buzz kill. Going anywhere requires driving, parking and if you're going to have a drink, then forget about driving.

Of course you could call a car service but have you seen how that works out? Throngs of people trying to figure out which car is for them, often being hit with surge pricing, sometimes not even getting a car.

It really would be better if you could just send a message to people in your social community so that someone who's not partying could give you a ride.

So we made an app that lets you do just that.
