Wilmington-based Carvertise is the nation’s largest ride-sharing advertising company, and it all started when its founder Mac Macleod was a University of Delaware student.

In 2022, revenue grew by 50% through using Lyft and Uber drivers to push brands. In summer 2023, Carvertise opened a new headquarters in Wilmington’s Riverfront to accommodate a growing staff .
