Building a business on their bags, not their backs.
Coaster turns delivery bags into mobile billboards—and turns the revenue into guaranteed income for NYC's delivery workers.
How Coaster Works
Carry
You do your normal deliveries with a Coaster bag. The bag has ad panels on the outside. No extra routes, no extra burdens.
Verify
Once a day, send a photo of your bag via WhatsApp. That's the only requirement.
Earn
You receive a guaranteed monthly payment on top of your delivery earnings. The more hours you work, the more you earn.
Fund
Advertising revenue pays for your earnings, hub operations, and a community benefit fund.

The densest ad network in Manhattan.
Reach millions of pedestrians across Manhattan with mobile ads at eye level—carried through the densest neighborhoods in the city, every day.
Ads that meet people where they walk
Eye-Level Visibility
Your ad is carried at pedestrian eye level through the busiest sidewalks in NYC—not 20 feet up on a billboard.
GPS-Verified Impressions
Every route is tracked. Every impression is verified. You know exactly where your ad went and how many people saw it.
Flexible Campaigns
Panels swap in minutes. Run a 2-week campaign or a 6-month campaign. Change creative as often as you want.
Advertising That Gives Back
Every campaign helps fund guaranteed income, rest hubs, and a community benefit fund for NYC's delivery workers. Your spend does double duty.

We're building something different.
Coaster was founded on a simple idea: the 65,000 delivery workers who power New York City's restaurant economy deserve more than what the gig platforms give them. They deserve guaranteed income, safe places to rest, and a real voice in how the companies they work with operate.
We turn their delivery bags into mobile advertising—and we turn the revenue from those ads into guaranteed monthly payments, community hubs, and a benefit fund for workers.
Same job. Same bike. A better deal.
Not another gig platform
Proving the model before we scale
A 125-rider, 1-hub, 60-day pilot. We're proving the model works before we scale. Every dollar of rider payment is funded and committed before the trial begins.
