Taking on Uber | Tayfun Keskin & Efkan Altinok on Building a Community-Led Startup, Ride Nuff

What happens when you spend years working inside an industry and realise the business model itself is the problem?

In this episode I sit down with Tayfun Keskin and Efkan Altinok, the founders of Ride Nuff and former Uber drivers who decided to build a different kind of ride-hailing business.

After more than a decade working in the industry, they saw drivers earning less, working longer hours and struggling to cover rising costs. Rather than accepting the status quo, they spent three years developing RideNuff, a subscription-based platform designed to give drivers more control over their earnings while offering customers a fairer alternative.

We discuss how they identified the opportunity, raised their first funding from a community of supporters, navigated regulation, launched in London and began attracting attention from drivers and operators around the world.

This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, disruption, platform economics, fundraising and what it takes to challenge an established market leader.
