Kimberly's vision for her company is revolutionary, offering a women-centric rideshare and community mobility service. This innovative concept prioritizes women’s safety, comfort, and empowerment, setting it apart from industry giants like Uber and Lyft.Kimberly’s journey began during the COVID-19 pandemic, giving her ample time to ensure product-market fit and problem-market fit through extensive customer discovery. After a successful soft launch in 2022 and a hard launch in 2023, Just Her Rideshare has seen impressive growth with thousands of sign-ups, many of which came organically from places they never marketed.One of the most compelling aspects of Just Her Rideshare is its dedication to creating a safe space for women. Kimberly shared, "Nearly 40 percent of women have had to report uncomfortable encounters, including serious sexual crimes and, yes, even murder. So to us, one assault or one woman made to feel uncomfortable is more than enough for us to want to create a safe space for them." This focus on safety and community has resonated deeply with both drivers and riders, leading to a remarkable 78 percent ride repeatability rate.The company also ensures better economic opportunities for its drivers by paying them more generously than other rideshare services. "Currently, we are in early adoption deals where our drivers earn 75 percent of every fare. That is a huge difference from industry standard. But again, we wanted to invest in them because we knew that it would create more loyalty and less churn," Kimberly explained.Kimberly's vision extends beyond Charlotte, North Carolina, with plans to expand into other cities such as Atlanta, Miami, and Washington, D.C. The potential for growth is vast, especially given the significant market of women riders who often avoid ridesharing at night due to safety concerns.As Kimberly and her team continue to build and expand, the future looks incredibly promising for Just Her Rideshare. Their commitment to safety, community, and empowerment not only fills a crucial gap in the ridesharing industry but also paves the way for a more inclusive and secure transportation option for women everywhere.tl;dr:* Introduction and Business Overview: Kimberly Evans is the CEO of Just Her Ride Share, a women-centric ride-sharing and community mobility company prioritizing women's safety, comfort, and empowerment.

She prioritizes building genuine human connections and fostering a community over transactional interactions. This approach drives her mission to serve others and create a supportive environment for both her team and the users of Just Her Rideshare.Kimberly exemplified her servant leadership by routinely taking time each month to support other entrepreneurs. Despite her own overwhelming schedule, she reaches out to her founder friends to offer assistance, helping them tackle their top challenges. This selfless act not only alleviates her own stress but also strengthens her network and community.Tips for Developing Servant Leadership:* Be Intentional: Set specific goals to serve others regularly, such as monthly or quarterly.* Build Genuine Connections: Focus on creating meaningful relationships rather than transactional ones.* Offer Help Proactively: Reach out to your network to see how you can support them, even with small tasks.* Embrace Vulnerability: Understand that being open and supportive does not mean being weak; set boundaries to prevent exploitation.* Shift Focus: When overwhelmed, redirect your energy to helping others find relief and gain perspective.By following Kimberly Evans’s example and advice, you can make servant leadership a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.
