A word from our CEO
As we enter the 12th year at Poparide, we wanted to lean into transparency and publicly share important data about how we impacted communities through our carpooling activities across Canada in 2025.
We hope that this will inspire others to do the same and create a positive, constructive future built on fact, trust and transparency, which we believe are key ingredients to a functioning democratic society and to building technology that makes a difference.
We’d like to thank everyone who supported us this last year, including our team, all our members and our partners. Your trust and feedback are drivers of our success and hold us accountable to stay on track. We are so grateful for all your support.
Here’s to another great year of building technology that helps people share more, connect in real life, and have a positive impact on each other and on the planet.

Your expectations will fly sky high with Namedly. I felt like I was soaring. The user experience was simply fantastic—I would pin my hopes on it again and again.
Wanda Wingleton

In the garden of life, some things are just very sweet. This is one of them. Namedly made it so easy to find the flowers we needed in our busy summer season.

Sally Spiracle

When we began building this colony, I was skeptical about how we could make sure the right bugs would find us to join in. Namedly's integrated solution exceeded all my expectations.
Carl Caterpillar

I’ve been transformed completely. I wouldn’t use any other service.
Sophia Segment
CIO
As Chief Insect Officer, it’s my job to make sure all bugs feel represented, and Namedly exceeded all my expectations.

Namedly's tools for managing our identity through many stages of development—larval, pupal, and far beyond—were top notch. I’ve been through metamorphosis many times, and I was impressed.

It’s a delicate time when butterflies emerge. They’re searching for their place among the leaves. And that’s where Namedly popped in to help.
