☆ Wheely, Uber's luxury competitor, launches in Dubai to take on the UAE's dominant player
  + stars: | 2024-02-07 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
The company, founded by Russian-Swiss entrepreneur Anton Chirkunov, told CNBC it will offer rides in the United Arab Emirates city starting Wednesday, catering mainly to wealthy clients. "European families and entrepreneurs have been moving to Dubai in the last five years," Chirkunov told CNBC in an interview ahead of the launch. Wheely's platform is tailored more toward mass market usage, however, and Chirkunov thinks his platform has an opportunity to stand out. He compares the Wheely brand to the American Express Centurion and Platinum membership credit cards in terms of brand status. Wheely plans to expand its Middle East team and chauffeur network to over 1,000 in the next three to five years, the company told CNBC exclusively.

☆ German chauffeur services company Blacklane just raised $36 million in fresh funds with this 10-slide pitch deck
  + stars: | 2023-09-27 | by ( Callum Burroughs | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
German chauffeur services company Blacklane has raised $36 million in a Series F funding round. The Berlin-based firm, founded in 2011, was originally set up to simplify business travel through the creation of a marketplace for chauffeurs. "We could have continued to grow organically with our cash flow but we want to grow faster," he said. Blacklane has brought in the funding as part of a second close of its previously announced Series F round. The fresh funds will go towards deepening the company's existing network of products, particularly in North America, as well as in Dubai where the business has ambitions to offer premium mobility services to users in the city for functions beyond traditional chauffeur services like airport transfer.
