Happy New Year from all of us at Team Cruzeo! We’re still finding glitter in our hair from all of our New Year’s celebrations, and as we come back to life from the craziness of the holidays we’ve found ourselves reflecting on all of the amazing strides we’ve taken this past month and across the last year as a whole. We’re especially proud of how our team transformed a tough situation into a story of resilience and power, and are eager to kick off this new year with the same gusto and drive that brought each of us together in the first place.

Despite the unpredictability of the holiday season, December was a big month for us.

New White Paper and Tech Paper

We revised our company whitepaper and tech paper and internally began discussing how our platform can be used beyond the confines of ridesharing, and how our protocol can be applied to a number of different subjects.

App Development

Our devs are making progress on the more tricky parts of our app design. We are in discussions with several talented iOS and Blockchain developers who will help us developing the first version of the app. If you think you would make a good addition to the CRUZEO team, hop in our Telegram and let us know!

Community

For us, the coolest part about December was learning from our community that CRUZEO is answering a real need in ridesharing. It’s been amazing to see our Telegram flooded with comments like “This is exactly what ridesharing needs!” We’re not patting ourselves on the back too much, we’re just genuinely thankful for the love and support and are excited to keep rolling out new information there.

If you haven’t, be sure to follow our Telegram channel and our newly created Telegram Announcements channel for updates as we kick off the new year.

New Website

We will be launching a new website in the coming days that will that will (we think) better articulate our vision and also serve as a better springboard for future content. We don’t plan on launching a new website every month, but we don’t ever think it will be “done.” It will grow as much as we do.

Content Recap

We’ve kicked things up quite a few notches on our Medium account, and have provided our readers with some major food for thought on all things ridesharing and blockchain. If you haven’t had a moment to check out some of our pieces, go ahead and explore the below:

Carlo, our Executive Director, wrote up a quick intro into the NEO development ecosystem.

We talked a little bit about how we address trust issues in the sharing economy.

We bared it all in our story about CRUZEO’s inception. A gripping read.
