Why are We All Paying Insurance as if We’re Terrible Drivers? (w/Rashid Galadanci, CEO at Driver)

Rashid Galadanci is CEO of Driver Technologies, an AI-based mobility tech company that delivers a safer driving experience, co-founded in 2018. Rashid was inspired to start Driver Technologies to share the benefits of advanced vehicle technologies without barriers to access and improve safety for everyone. 

Rashid's dad survived a car accident in Africa because he was in a Volvo, but the passengers of the other car were not so lucky. This life-changing incident catalyzed Rashid to devote himself to auto safety and insurance using technology.

Driver uses cell phones to democratize auto safety. Driver uses cell phone data real-time on the edge to act as an early-warning system in car models that do not yet have their own operating system to do so.  

Driver focuses on proper coverage as people fluidly switch between ride-share, delivery and private automotive insurance needs. Users have extended the use cases out into boating, jet ski and private aircraft.

Rashid is also a Venture Partner at The Social Entrepreneurs’ Fund, and a Director at Pigeonly. Rashid holds a B.A. in Political Economy from Dartmouth College and is based in the New York City metropolitan area.
