Flok is a festival-focused ridesharing community that connects music and sports fans with likeminded individuals who are traveling to the same event. The business can be described as a carpool service to those attending the same concert or sporting event and is already a hit among urban dwellers who don't drive or those lacking access to a car.
Based in Vancouver, Canada Flok boasts a user-friendly mobile interface, in-app messaging features, comprehensive user profiles and even gives passengers a chance to review their ride.
The ridesharing community aims to "connect drivers who have extra seats with passengers who need a lift" and gives concert goers an opportunity to meet new friends before festival events or sporting tournaments across North America.
