What We Do
Heetch started back in 2013 on the parking lots of nightclubs, where founders Teddy and Mathieu would showcase their nocturnal ride-sharing service to young customers who’d missed the last train. Our professional 24/24 ride-hailing app covers several countries and is growing very fast, particularly in French-speaking Africa. We aim to create healthy and culturally relevant markets wherever we go, which implies guaranteeing a fair income to drivers and affordable prices to passengers… while taking care of our employees. This indisputable challenge unites the teams and keeps us going everyday! As we are growing, we have job opportunities for you !
