French ride-sharing start-up Heetch has raised $20m in a funding round joined by Félix Capital, Via ID, Alven Capital, Idinvest Partners and InnovAllianz. The company had previously raised $12m in 2017 for its cheaper-than-Uber professional driving service, which takes a 15% cut on journey payments. The service is available across 10 cities in Belgium, France, Italy, Morocco and Sweden. In Casablanca, the company has chosen to partner with 19 taxi syndicates and give them access to Heetch to accept rides from a phone. In the US, Lyft launched an app called “UberEAT” that allows users to order food from restaurants using their smartphone.
