Spring 2021:

By April 26th:

• Finish development of all v1 features (except for the rider web platform), and prepare a demonstration for the pitch
• Begin v2 design explorations and research Carriage is short-staffed on designers, so this has been postponed.

Late April and Early May:

• Pitch Carriage to administration officials in charge of RedRunner, CULift, and SDS procurement, focusing on the following selling-points of adopting Carriage as their scheduling solution:
  • Built from the ground up for Cornell’s specific use case with input from actual end-users
  • Support from RR and SDS for the product
  • Carriage is free, unlike competitors’ solutions
  • Accessibility in design has been a focus from Carriage’s inception
