Less (Acquired by Blablacar in 2018)

Less, acquired by Blablacar in 2018, offers an innovative carpooling solution that facilitates instant matchmaking between drivers and riders, promoting a collaborative and eco-friendly commuting experience. With its slogan, "LESS uses instant matchmaking to connect drivers and riders, creating a collaborative carpooling environment that is less expensive and less polluting," the company is dedicated to reducing costs for riders and increasing earnings for drivers, while also minimizing pollution and the number of cars on the road.

Founded in 2017, and headquartered in France, Less carved a niche in the Analytics, Mobile, Platforms, and Transportation sectors by enabling an efficient and environmentally conscious transit model. Supported by a solid $19.00M Series A investment from noted investors Index Ventures and Daphni in November 2017, Less demonstrated strong market potential and investor confidence, ultimately leading to its acquisition by a major player in the carpooling industry.
