About the Rideshare/ Transportation  Network Providers(TNP) Space:

A TNP company, also referred to as a rideshare company, provides prearranged transportation services for compensation through an Internet-enabled application or digital platform to connect passengers with drivers of vehicles for hire.  TNP drivers with their vehicles join and become affiliated with TNP companies, and are then available to be dispatched through the TNP’s digital platform. Uber and Lyft are the leaders in the industry, with Uber’s valuation being about $120 Billion and Lyft’s valuation at around $24+ Billion Dollars.    

Lyft IPO’d on Friday, March 29, 2019, and is being touted by investment banking professionals from around the world (along with Uber’s upcoming IPO) as the next major shift in the TNP sector.  Some have even speculated that the upcoming Uber IPO could be the biggest Tech IPO ever in history.

Investors in Uber (who currently dominate the rideshare space) include those from Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Japan’s Softbank.  According to cnbc.com, their urban mobility platform is still growing, and Uber’s Gross bookings were $37 billion in 2017, up from $20 billion in 2016. Net revenue (the amount left after paying drivers) reached $7.4 billion in 2017, an increase of nearly 14 percent over the prior year. Also fueling the company's growth is UberEATS, which was launched in 2016. The food-delivery service is now available in 120 cities worldwide, and is actually bigger than the company's ride-hailing business in several Asian markets, including Tokyo, Taipei, Seoul, and South Korea. 

Investors in Lyft have included CapitalG, Alliance Bernstein, KKR, Japanese retailer Rakuten and Canada's Public Sector Pension Investment Board.  With all eyes on these two Behemoths, the playing fields and ancillary growth opportunities are plenty.
