Having worked as an independent contractor during my college years, I definitely see the pain you're solving. @tmzier - How come you decided to do Android first? Are Android phones more popular amongst Uber and Lyft drivers?
I was having an interesting conversation with my Lyft Line driver this morning about compensation, taxes and contracting when he told me about Zen99. Personally I have no experience as a contractor, so intrigued to know what are other competitors that contractors currently use for insurance/tracking income?
@nikunj a lot of the people we target use a box of paper receipts, or Excel, or other apps that aren't built specifically for this purpose. Everyone we've talked to says this is a big pain point we're solving! Glad to hear we got a shout-out from a Lyft driver too.
@keywonc I used to run the Ops team at Exec, where our entire workforce was contracted labor. I saw the problems they faced, but we legally couldn't help due to contractor/employee law. My cofounder had similar issues as a contract web developer. Ultimately, we were excited to solve a real pain point people had.
@tmzier I added Zen99 to my curation of great products/services that Airbnb hosts should know about: http://www.producthunt.com/tech/... (see the "Tax & Legal" section). Cheers!
