Heetch

Heetch is a French ride-hailing startup founded in 2013 in Paris by Teddy Pellerin, Mathieu Jacob, and Aylic Petit. Originally launched as a peer-to-peer late-night ride-sharing service targeting party-goers and night travelers, Heetch pivoted to a professional VTC (private hire vehicle) model. The company differentiates on its 18% driver commission rate — among the lowest in the market — and operates across France, Belgium, Morocco, Algeria, and Cameroon. Heetch has expanded aggressively into French-speaking Africa and positions itself as a fairer mobility alternative to Uber. The company has approximately 400-590 employees.
