Talixo operates a B2B ground transportation booking platform that enables customers to book taxis and limousines by entering pickup point and time, selecting a car, verifying booking details and choosing a payment method; a Talixo driver then picks up the customer at the given location and time. The service is available in German, English, Italian, Spanish, Polish and French and offers three service categories: Quality Taxi, Economy+ and Business Class. The company also provides corporate solutions, including a ride‑sharing product to pool rides to and from airports, and tools for online travel agencies to manage bookings and transfer expenses. Talixo was founded in 2012 by CEO Sebastian Kleinau and is based in Berlin and Krakow. The company recently closed a high 7‑digit euro financing round to further accelerate growth and expand operations; the exact amount was not disclosed. Talixo operates a platform that aggregates traditional taxis and private drivers, offering an online booking engine that supports both on-demand hails and pre-bookings. The company provides free fleet management software to providers, who pay commission on booked rides and set their own pricing within the marketplace. Payments are processed to customers’ pre-registered credit cards after passengers hand a payment PIN to drivers, enabling a cash-free flow. Talixo was founded in 2012 and launched a pilot service in Berlin the summer before publication. The startup closed a 5x-oversubscribed funding round described as being in the “low seven digits” (amount undisclosed). Talixo says it plans to expand to all of Germany’s major cities by the coming summer, using the new funding to accelerate growth.
