Our Mission is to Become

The Engine Behind Everything That Moves

About Us

Rydra isn’t just another delivery platform, it’s a rebellion against broken logistics.

What began in Canberra is becoming a global movement. Rydra is building the engine behind everything that moves — people, goods, work, and value — at the speed the future demands. This isn’t a tweak to the gig economy. It’s a complete reset.

We’ve studied the systems that failed: platforms that drain margins, burn out drivers, and leave businesses and consumers powerless inside closed algorithms. We saw the chaos, the inefficiency, the exploitation and we built the antidote.

Rydra is the first human-first movement system. One unified platform where every delivery, ride, courier job, shift contract, and retail drop is driven by choice, not control. Drivers set their own rates, choose their jobs, and build consistent income with pride. Businesses post jobs, hire directly, slash fees, and create loyalty with drivers who know their brand. Consumers don’t just place orders, they post work, name their price, and choose who they trust to deliver.

We’re not trying to fix the gig economy; we’re leaving it behind.

Our mission is clear: to build the engine behind everything that moves. A single, intelligent system that powers how cities function, how people connect, and how commerce flows.

And our ethos is even louder: to produce so much volume, so fast, that it becomes impossible for broken systems to survive us.

This is more than tech. This is about trust. Speed. Control. It’s about reclaiming the systems that move the world and making them work for everyone, not just the platform.

This is logistics redesigned and it’s fast, fair, and human.
Rydra is the future and we’re building it at full speed.

Ewan Goodchild - Founder/CEO

Ewan Goodchild is the Founder and CEO of Rydra, a Canberra-based delivery platform created to give local restaurants, drivers and consumers more control, consistency, and fairness. He started Rydra in 2025 while studying law and working night shifts at a hospital, motivated by a growing frustration with how disconnected and expensive delivery had become for small businesses. He also crafted Rydra’s bold mission: to produce so much volume, so fast, that it becomes unreasonable for broken systems to survive us. What began as a simple idea—to make delivery work better for everyone—has grown into a platform powered by real trust, real people, and a refusal to accept the status quo.
