Fifteen

Fifteen is a European startup that operates in the active mobility market, specifically focusing on bike-sharing services. Their mission is to support towns and cities of all sizes in promoting active mobility by providing easy access to bikes for various purposes such as occasional journeys, intermodal trips, and long-term rentals. Their services are available in both urban and rural areas, catering to a wide range of clients including public and private partners.

Fifteen's business model revolves around deploying fleets of bikes, ranging from a few to several thousand, along with a lightweight parking and charging infrastructure. They also provide powerful management interfaces and applications, offering a first-class user experience. The company generates revenue by renting out these bikes to users for different periods.

One of the unique selling points of Fifteen is its ability to collect actionable Big Data on a city, which can be a valuable resource for decision-makers. They also offer native API connectivity and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) compatibility, ensuring they are ready for future technological advancements.

Since its inception in 2008, Fifteen has successfully deployed more than 50,000 bikes in collaboration with its partners. The company's services are not only limited to city centres but also extend to suburbs, promoting the concept of the 15-minute city - a city where everything a resident needs can be reached within 15 minutes by bike.
