Uber Eats delivery via bike. Nicolò Campo/LightRocket via Getty ImagesIn 1994 Pizza Hut launched the first online ordering service. Thirty years later, more than 112 million Americans have used a food delivery service, with 60 percent ordering takeout or delivery at least once a week. Millennials are more likely to order food delivery than dine in-person at the restaurant.Food delivery is just one segment of the burgeoning gig economy which is forecast to exceed $500 billion and has attracted over 5 million people.While self-employment and the gig economy promise freedom and flexibility, they come with significant costs. Given that a majority of Americans cannot answer basic financial literacy questions, that leaves these 5 million Americans left to navigate the landscape of self-employment in the dark.The Rise & Challenges of the Gig EconomyIn the most basic terms, gig work is defined as work done by individuals classified as self-employed, freelancers, or independent contractors and in recent years has become synonymous with driving for ride-share apps, making restaurant deliveries, delivering groceries, and performing errands. But in a recent survey of delivery drivers, 84 percent said they are underpaid, three-quarters are planning to get a second job and 15 percent already have one.Because these workers are “independent contractors,” they are not covered by the basic worker protection laws nor do they receive employment-based health insurance, unemployment insurance, retirement benefits, paid sick leave, or workers’ compensation when injured on the job.Workplace legal protections

Partnered with Grubhub and DoorDash, Whizz provides discounts and services like maintenance and anti-theft protection. Founded in 2022, Whizz raised $12 million ($5M equity from Leta Capital, $7M debt from Flashpoint VC) to expand beyond NYC. The startup plans to manage 40,000 e-bikes in NYC within three years, up from 2,500 currently.
Whizz, t he e-bike subscription platform for last-mile delivery drivers, launched its Ride Safe initiative May 31, which will provide 100 free bicycle helmets to New York City-based delivery drivers every month.
