Talixo operates as a global booking platform for ground transportation, focusing on optimizing the connection between passengers and taxi and limousine services. The company was founded in 2012 by Sebastian Kleinau, a former consultant for The Boston Consulting Group, who developed the concept after his MBA program at INSEAD. Initially a business school project, the venture gained early traction by winning funds from INSEAD's Venture Competition, which propelled the founders to establish the company in Berlin.
The firm primarily targets the B2B market, offering customizable transportation solutions for corporate clients, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and travel agencies. It has established strategic partnerships with major travel industry players like Amadeus and AirPlus and integrates with corporate booking tools such as Concur. The business model is centered on providing a standardized, high-quality service worldwide, available in over 100 countries and more than 1,000 cities. Revenue is generated by facilitating these bookings, connecting a fragmented supply of transportation providers—where 80% of fleets have fewer than 10 cars—with global demand. By improving fleet utilization, drivers can achieve better profitability while offering competitive rates to customers.
Talixo’s platform allows users to pre-book rides via its website or mobile applications, choosing from various service categories, including standard taxis, economy, business, and first-class limousines. Key features include automated flight tracking to adjust pickup times, electronic receipts, and multiple payment options, including corporate payment methods like AirPlus. For business clients, the service offers the guarantee of a black car, an English-speaking driver, and extended waiting times at airports. The company has also introduced a ride-sharing product for corporate customers to pool rides. To date, Talixo has raised approximately $12.7 million through two funding rounds from investors including Deutsche Bahn Digital Ventures, Ammann Group, and IBB.
