Klaxit SAS

Wayz-Up SAS, based in France, operates an innovative mobile platform connecting drivers and passengers, enhancing daily commuting through efficient carpooling solutions. Founded in 2012 in Paris, France, Klaxit SAS specializes in daily carpooling services that connect drivers with passengers for shared commutes. The company has not undergone significant pivots in its business strategy or operations. Klaxit SAS has received funding primarily from INCO Venture Capital, MAIF, RATP, and Sodexo.

In February 2018, the company raised EUR 3 million, marking a significant funding round. Klaxit SAS has one notable deal in its history, with a total amount raised of EUR 3 million. Wayz-Up SAS offers BlaBlaCar Daily, a prominent carpooling service that connects drivers and commuters for daily travel. This platform promotes eco-friendly transportation options by allowing users to save on travel costs.

Drivers can earn between EUR 1. 50 and EUR 8 per passenger per trip, enabling average savings of EUR 130 per month for regular users. The service targets commuters, students, and local residents in urban and suburban areas across France and select neighboring countries, providing a cost-effective alternative to public transport. BlaBlaCar Daily generates revenue through a model where drivers receive payments from passengers for each completed journey.

This direct-to-consumer approach ensures that drivers earn from each ride, whether subsidized or free. The company also collaborates with businesses and local authorities to enhance sustainable commuting, contributing to its revenue through strategic partnerships. The primary interface for users is the BlaBlaCar Daily application, which facilitates seamless connections between drivers and passengers, fostering community interaction. Following its funding round in February 2018, where Wayz-Up SAS raised EUR 3 million, the company plans to utilize this capital to strengthen strategic commercial partnerships.

Future growth initiatives include the development of new products aimed at enhancing the user experience, as well as plans to expand its services into other geographic regions to increase market penetration. Specific markets targeted for expansion have yet to be announced, but the company is focused on enhancing its footprint in regions where carpooling can offer significant benefits.
