Cost per Drop in Local Delivery | Flow, not Distance | Micromobility + Battery Swap | Hyperconnected Local Wheels (HLW)

Some of us grew up with: ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜, ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜ Then came the familiar 3 Rโ€™s: ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ฒ. ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ-๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ. ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜†๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ฒ. But local delivery now has its own emerging 3 Rโ€™s: โœ… ๐—ฅ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜-๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜‡๐—ฒ ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€ โœ… ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ โœ… ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ Together, these can help reduce ๐—–๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐——๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ and increase ๐——๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ.

Weโ€™re running a short anonymous survey for the next week and would value your perspective. ย  Weโ€™re interested to learn where operators, retailers, riders, technology providers and investors believe the greatest opportunities lie.
