Roundabout

Purpose

Roundabout aggregates self-driving fleets and AI software to improve non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) and more - providing enhanced tech, innovating premises, and strategic partnerships to design efficient, scalable, and nimble-client services.

Problem

• Outdated Systems: Current NEMT relies on manual processes and legacy tech, leading to delays and missed appointments.
• Inefficiency: Disjointed scheduling and communication waste hours daily for providers and patients.
• Poor Scalability: Existing solutions struggle to expand beyond local markets or adapt to growing demand.

Impact: A fragmented, costly system that fails patients, providers, and states.

Solution

×

• Comprehensive Platform: Mobile-web apps, admin interfaces, AI-driven electronic optimization, and industry upgrading tech.
• BeLoved Pilot (Bloomington, IN): Testing ground saving hours daily by streamlining workflows—live proof of concept. (Replacing physical signatures, on paper - with digital ones in the cloud)
• Scalable Approach: Expand with LCP (Indianapolis) via subcontracts, then support multi-state growth and replicate globally.
• Software-First: Nimble design enables provider driver management tools, verification, and payment services.

Why Unique? Future-oriented with user-centric design and social impact.

Why Enduring? Flexible model scales from pilots to international markets, and asset optimization (e.g., delivery at night).

Why Now

• Tech Maturity: AI, mobile apps, and cloud systems are affordable and robust. Self-driving, electric vehicles will outpace others.
• Rising Demand: Health services seek cost-effective, patient-first solutions, amplified by changing policies.
• Policy Alignment: States and insurers favor tech-driven efficiency in Medicaid and beyond. Safety & efficiency wins.

Timing Edge: The perfect storm of tech, need, and regulatory support is here today. Open door for crypto payments.

Market Potential

• U.S. NEMT Market: $2B annually, with outdated legacy brokers like LCP ($17M/year) as key entry points.
• Growth Path: Small county → Indianapolis (LCP) → multi-state → international.
• Service Expansion: Management software, verification, and scheduling for small provider teams like BeLoved, in Bloomington, IN.
• Customers: Brokers, healthcare providers, hospitals with dispatch, schools, and global markets via software replication.

Upside: A software-first timeline unlocks limitless scale and diversification.

Competition / Alternatives

• Traditional Brokers: Manual, slow, and tech-limited (e.g., LCP's 30+ call center agents and 1.5 star reviews on Indeed).
• Ride-Sharing: Non-compliant for medical needs, lacking purpose-built tools.
• Small Operators: Like BeLoved, but lack scale or innovation.

Advantage: Roundabout's AI fleet, design, subcontracting, and nimble strategy outpace and scale beyond competitors.

Business Model

• Initial Revenue: $100k-$1M contracts with brokers like LCP for consulting and software design (tech + sales contract duo).
• Streams: SaaS fees, per-ride commissions, sub-contracts, and provider management software sales.
• Asset Strategy: Acquire and optimize assets (vehicles, software) for efficiency and value. In the future fleets can be used for trips, deliveries at night.
• Flexibility: Adapt for public services, or other industries based on political, technological, and cultural trends.

Growth Plan: Pilot success → broker partnerships → diversified services and markets.

Team

• Jacob H. Beam: Founder, skilled in UX, AI tools, and creative solutions (e.g., Vine, Fooji.co).
• Dwayne Cole: Partner, BeLoved Transportation non-profit founder and industry expert with 10+ years serving underserved communities.
• Future: CPR basics-trained drivers, AI Engineers, Sales, Legal.

Strength: A mission-driven duo with complementary expertise in social impact and innovation.

Financials

• Pilot Phase: $100k contracts fund app and ops (consulting + engineering roles).
• Year 1 Goal: $200k+ revenue from 2-3 contracts, breaking even.
• Year 2 Target: $1M+ via Broker expansion and SaaS growth.
• Long-Term: $10M+ ARR through multi-state deals and asset plays.

Efficiency: Replaces 4+ support agents, saving brokers ~$200k/year—low-risk, high-value.

Attractiveness: Potential to win state contracts, and scale globally.

Vision

Within five years, Roundabout will

• Redefine NEMT across hundreds of international nodes.
• Power millions of rides with AI, software design, and optimized assets.
• Invest early in self-driving electric fleets, AI prompted software, and robotic assets
  - moving people and paradigms while maintaining integrity.
• Provide unmatched efficiency and social impact.
