Berlin-based Bliq secures €2 million to help delivery and ridesharing workers streamline jobs from Uber, Free Now, Bolt & Ola
Summary
Today German mobility software startup Bliq has closed a heavily oversubscribed seed funding round of €2 million. Bliq’s business model is based on the growing alternative transport industry, where providers such as Uber, Free Now, and Bolt place orders with independent drivers. By harnessing the power of smartphones, the Bliq Ride Community forms a network of drivers which provide real-time data regarding the road traffic from every corner of a city. Bliq then uses edge computing and artificial intelligence to process huge amounts of current traffic and user data to deliver driver insights. Bliq Ride displays high demand passenger regions together with areas overpopulated with other drivers to enable users to strategically position themselves and enhance their earnings.
