Stairling is a French startup that re-imagines work for ride-hailing drivers by enrolling them as "entrepreneurs salariés," giving them both flexibility and the social benefits of salaried employment. Its platform integrates with major VTC marketplaces such as Uber, Heetch, Bolt, Freenow and Allocab while supplying drivers with data and AI tools to maximize earnings. The company already counts over 1,200 active drivers and has another 1,200 in onboarding, making it the largest activity and employment cooperative in France; management targets more than 3,500 drivers by 2026. Stairling reports monthly growth and financial profitability. With new capital, the team will scale national commercial operations, deepen its technology stack, create tailored financial services for platform workers and prepare to enter additional European markets within 18 months. Key hires across product, tech and operations are also planned to support this expansion.
