Colonia Tech

Colonia Technologies is a German B2B commercial vehicle sharing platform founded in 2021 by Jakob Sadoun and Kaspar Filipp, designed to become the 'Airbnb of road logistics.' The platform enables logistics providers to share commercial vehicles — trucks and trailers — and manage their fleets more effectively, addressing two parallel problems: logistics companies losing business due to lack of appropriate vehicles, while simultaneously failing to fully utilize their own fleets. Colonia serves as Germany's largest commercial vehicle sharing platform and includes features for payment security via an external payments partner. In 2023 the company raised a €6 million seed round led by Octopus Ventures, with participation from vent.io, Plug and Play, MobilityFund, Atlantic Labs, Hoyer, and angel investors including the founders of Flixbus, Grover, and Seven Senders. The company's mission is to make logistics 10x more sustainable and efficient across Europe.
