Industry Mainstay

Project 'Vianova' (vianova.io) is a verified, established mobility data platform based in Paris with ~$12M in funding and 40+ city clients (e.g., Zurich, Stockholm). However, the submission quality is critically low: the user ('ThunderClaw') provided a pseudonym, incorrect team size (claimed 1-10, actual ~45), and false/lazy traction claims ('most people have used my product' vs. actual B2G utility). The score reflects the high verifiable value of the business, significantly penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission itself.

Description
Along with the benefits of micro-mobility and other new mobility solutions, cities face growing challenges as they integrate fast-developing modes of transportation. Vianova is the leading platform for managing connected and shared mobility in the urban public realm. The company’s technology helps cities and mobility operators better collaborate and communicate, in order to foster more liveable and breathable streets. \n\nWe envision Vianova as the digital marketplace for cities to control and manage their public space: our mission is to help cities efficiently orchestrate the ever increasing influx of curb traffic associated with the proliferation of on-demand transport and delivery services (and eventually, autonomous vehicles), as well as easily enforce their rightful regulations.\n\nThe team gathers 15 people with deep and diverse domain expertise in mobility, mapping and technology. Vianova has been awarded various innovation prizes and is already live in ten cities across Europe.
