Karhoo is a British company created in 2017 that develops shared mobility solutions.

Presentation
Karhoo is a company that develops SaaS mode Enterprise solutions (B2B) for mobility.

Karhoo has developed a white-label platform offering open APIs that makes it possible to book a ride from taxi or private hire partnering companies on virtually any website and mobile application; another module is a complete solution for on-demand transport, including a dynamic dispatch and two mobile apps for drivers and passengers.

History
Karhoo and its parent company Flit Technologies were founded in February 2017 by Boris Pilichowski and Nicolas Andine, investment bankers, in partnership with Groupe Renault, which is investing $15 million through its subsidiary RCI Bank and Services, in a model favoring new shared mobility. The start-up is reborn from the ashes of a former homonymous business, a taxi comparator app entered into agreements with taxi fleets all over the world, the only assets kept in the new entity.

In 2017 Karhoo developed its Mobility Exchange platform for air/rail operators and online travel agencies (OTA) for the distribution of taxi rides as part of the first and last miles of a trip. The model is also of interest to insurance companies, which are large purchasers of taxis for their clients in the context of claims.

In 2018, Flit Technologies absorbed Yuso, a start-up specializing in on-demand transport and dynamic dispatch of vehicles with driver, acquired by Renault the previous year.

In April 2019 Karhoo received in Brussels the European prize for mobility: the European Startup Gold Prize, among 570 candidates. The same year, Karhoo signed its first commercial partnerships with the major European rail operators: Mon Chauffeur TGV Inoui, Thalys MyDriver , L'Assistant SNCF and Renfe-as-a-Service.

Early 2020 Karhoo integrates Yuso which becomes Karhoo Pool, a dispatch solution for on-demand public transport.
