Facedrive Inc. (“Facedrive” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: FD), the first Canadian peer-to-peer, eco-friendly ridesharing network, today announced that it has entered into a Strategic Service Advisory Agreement with Freshwater Advisors (“Freshwater”) to assist Facedrive in sourcing and developing environmentally focused partnerships to support Facedrive’s growth initiatives, specifically in the United States.

Under the terms of the Strategic Service Advisory Agreement, Freshwater will provide advisory services, including serving on Facedrive’s Advisory Board, with a focus on leveraging Freshwater’s network of corporate and technology relationships in order to assist Facedrive in securing potential partnerships with partners whose interests are aligned with Facedrive’s initiatives.

“We identified the need to engage with a rich-networked organization to bring us to new markets in the United States and help educate these markets on the benefits of Facedrive,” said Sayan Navaratnam, Chairman and CEO of Facedrive. “Facedrive’s mission is to reduce carbon emissions by offering more services, beyond simply the transportation of people, and securing new partnerships with forward-thinking organizations will spawn new service concepts that we expect will ultimately grow our value.”

Freshwater’s list of partners includes strategic organizations in various sectors desirable to Facedrive, including Energy, Municipal Governments, Green Venture Funds and Foundations which have mandates for innovation and sustainability.

“Our network is vast, and rich with meaningful relationships that we will bring to Facedrive,” said David Weinstein, CEO of Freshwater. “We will make these strategic introductions, including preparing research and value proposition materials for the discussions, participating in these meetings, and working on structuring strategic deals to ensure the most productive mutual partnership objectives are realized.”

As founder and CEO of Freshwater, David Weinstein’s clients have included Exelon, Caterpillar, Northwestern Mutual, AbbVie, Allstate, Hyatt Corporation, Energize Ventures, Clean Energy Trust, Cummins, Microsoft, and CME Group.

The Freshwater process begins by conducting research in desired sector areas and offering insights and reports on potential corporations in complementary industry verticals. In addition to scouting deal flow and conducting due diligence, Freshwater then works with businesses to develop formal partnerships and tools for pilot engagements with emerging growth companies, such as Facedrive. Freshwater offers tracking, operational support, and relationship management between both parties to facilitate the process, ensuring progress is made.
