Wave Rideshare, an AI-powered transportation and technology company, has announced a partnership with NBA Hall of Famer, entrepreneur, and tech investor Allen Iverson.
Led by CEO Diondre Lewis, Wave Rideshare focuses on innovation, safety, integrity, and accountability as it seeks to expand in the rideshare, B2B transportation, medical transport, and delivery sectors. The company, built around scalable AI technology, is positioning itself to become a global competitor across multiple industries.
Iverson, widely recognized for his influence on basketball and urban culture, joins the company as both an investor and strategic partner. "AI is now, tech is now, and scalable tech is the true path to generational wealth," Iverson said in a statement. "I’m partnering and investing with Wave Rideshare because this is more than transportation — it’s innovation, empowerment, and about creating lasting impact worldwide. This company already has a large footprint, they are poised to make a major global impact, and I’m excited to be part of this historic movement."
Lewis emphasized the importance of Iverson’s involvement in Wave’s long-term strategy.
"Having a legend like Allen Iverson join our mission is transformative," Lewis said. "Together, we’re not just changing the game — we’re redefining it. Wave is committed to providing safe, reliable, and technologically advanced transportation solutions, especially for vulnerable communities. With AI on our team, we are accelerating toward becoming the global leader in rideshare and tech innovation."
Wave’s growth plans include a global expansion and an anticipated initial public offering (IPO) that has attracted attention within financial and technology sectors. The company is expanding operations across major U.S. markets, including Atlanta, North Carolina, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York, and Dallas. Strategic partnerships with institutions such as Duke Athletics, the Charlotte Hornets, and a growing number of healthcare systems, restaurant chains, and airports are part of its broader roadmap.
The company has also focused on leveraging social influence and digital engagement to create economic opportunities for influencers and partners, aiming to extend its reach and global impact. Wave’s strategy, built around AI-driven solutions, is intended to level the playing field in transportation and technology industries valued in the trillions of dollars.
Wave is also hiring tens of thousands of certified drivers nationwide through its dedicated platform, certified.waveride.co, as part of its national expansion efforts.
With Iverson’s backing, Wave Rideshare aims to accelerate its expansion efforts, applying AI technology to enhance service quality, promote safety and accountability, and further its mission to transform global transportation.
