Veikul

Veikul operates as a specialized marketplace focused on the gig economy, specifically targeting the mobility and logistics sectors. The company addresses a key challenge for carless gig-workers, such as drivers and couriers, by providing them with access to a modern fleet of vehicles. This enables individuals who would otherwise be excluded from these work opportunities to participate in the gig economy.

The business model is structured to serve two distinct client bases. On one side, it empowers gig-workers by removing the significant barrier to entry that is vehicle ownership. On the other side, it partners with companies that rely on a flexible workforce, such as ride-sharing platforms and delivery services, helping them to expand their operational capacity and secure a dependable supply of drivers and couriers. By managing its own fleet, Veikul maintains control over the quality and availability of the primary asset, ensuring reliability for both its workers and corporate partners.

Revenue is generated through a vehicle subscription or rental service targeted at the gig-workers. This model provides a steady stream of income while offering flexibility to the workers. The company's value proposition lies in its ability to create a symbiotic relationship: workers gain access to income opportunities, and companies gain access to a readily available and equipped workforce. This positions Veikul as a critical infrastructure provider within the gig-economy ecosystem, facilitating smoother operations for last-mile delivery and transportation network companies.

The company was founded in 2022 by Sebastian Cood, who serves as the CEO. His background includes experience in the automotive rental industry and business development, providing a relevant foundation for tackling the operational and strategic challenges of fleet management and marketplace dynamics. This prior experience in asset management and scaling business operations is directly applicable to Veikul's core functions of managing a vehicle fleet and building a two-sided market.
