+300 EMPLOYEES
All over the world in 2024
Heetch started back in 2013 on the parking lots of Parisian nightclubs, where founders Teddy and Mathieu would showcase their nocturnal ride-sharing service to young customers who’d missed the last train. One court case* and two fundraisings later, our professional 24/24 ride-hailing app now covers multiple countries in two continents : Europe and Africa.
We aim to create healthy and culturally relevant markets wherever we go, which implies guaranteeing a fair income to drivers and affordable prices to passengers… while taking care of our employees. This indisputable challenge unites the teams and keeps us going everyday!
*Google it, it’s an epic story!
All over the world in 2024
We're profitable baby ! Now let's keep growing !
Heetch is now present in 8 countries worldwide
Making mobility accessible to all is far from easy, but it’s been our motto since the very beginning. We face many challenges: payment by cash, pricing that matches both the drivers’ and the passengers’ expectations… our app is constantly evolving to match our users’ needs.
In our opinion, no-one should be left behind: for many, Heetch represents a true alternative to the lack of public transportation (remote parisian suburbs, rapidly urbanizing African cities…)
Wherever we go, the same vision applies: our users choose us for our prices, then love us for our ethics!
Transparency is our motto. Every week we share everything in a global meeting : new projects, number of rides in each country, financial news, etc.
Every voice is welcome : to us, one open dialogue is worth a thousand polite speeches
We are convinced that it’s possible to fulfill your ambition while working in a healthy and caring environment and that’s why we make sure to help every Heetcher balance his or her professional and personal life : flexibility is the key. We also encourage self-development through career paths, rituals and trainings.
DOs: Be efficient, driven and autonomous. Make decisions quickly. Admit when you’re wrong and move on.
DON’Ts: Decide too quickly, make it happen at all cost, Bulldozer’ through your days.
DOs: Respect others and their opinion, no matter who they are. Always assume good intentions, especially in written communication.
DON’Ts: Saying ‘yes’ to everything or being ‘too nice’. Gossiping.
DOs: Look out what’s best for the company as a whole, no ego or politics. Plan the future. Speak up when necessary.
DON’Ts: Sacrifice your personal goals and well-being. Protect your team at all costs against the ‘greater good’.
DOs: Invent solutions for the unsolvable. Feel free to show your personality. Innovate.
DON’Ts: Staying in your own world or overthinking simple things.
We’re proud to fight for what we think is right and positive.
That includes drivers' rights and conditions. How do we fight for them? By maintaining the lowest commission fees on the market, by having a space to welcome them (the Heetch Café) and by organizing events with them to keep in touch with their daily work life.
Gender equality is another big topic we fight for. Our gender equality index is at 93/100 and we’re convinced that it can be even better !
Finally, we fight to help changing mentalities for the better. To do so, we believe that our marketing campaigns are one of a key levers (have a look at ‘Greetings from la banlieue’ for example).
All this allows us to ride with pride everyday !
