OpenFounding-investor circle · limited allocation

The safest ride in Europe is about to own its fleet.

LEON combines chauffeurs and close-protection agents in one app. We are raising a minimum of €10 million from business angels and private investors to buy our own cars, keep every agent on payroll, and open Paris, Geneva and Courchevel.

Reserved for business angels, family offices and private investors. Allocation is limited and offered in the order requests are received.

The thesis

Ride-hailing rents everything. LEON owns what matters.

The big platforms hand around 80% of every fare back to independent drivers they do not train, do not control and cannot keep. Service is uneven, and the best clients get taken off-platform. We built the opposite model.

Gig platformsUber, Bolt and the like

  • About 80% of the fare goes to independents
  • Drivers rent or lease their cars: the platform owns nothing
  • No training standard, low service, high churn
  • Regular clients are poached with a business card
  • No protection: a driver is not a bodyguard

LEONEmployed, trained, owned

  • Agents are salaried employees, well paid and trained by LEON Academy
  • The cars belong to LEON: owning is cheaper than renting
  • One standard of service, in every car, in every city
  • The client stays a LEON client
  • Chauffeur and close protection in the same booking
01

Own the fleet

A pooled fund buys the cars outright. No rental margin paid to someone else, full control of the standard, and an asset on our balance sheet instead of a monthly invoice.

02

Employ the agents

Every bodyguard is on payroll until the company is worth €1 billion. Better pay than gig work, better service than gig work, and a higher margin for LEON because nothing leaks to intermediaries.

03

Own the safety layer

The LEON crime map and incident reports turn every ride into data no taxi app has: where it is safe, when, and who is close enough to help.

The market

Where wealth travels, LEON follows.

We start where clients already pay for discretion and safety: the Riviera all year, the Alps in winter, the financial capitals in between.

Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Monaco, Saint-Tropez. Our home market, operating today.

Paris

Business travel, fashion weeks, embassies and hotels that need a protected ride.

Investor FAQ

The questions investors ask first.

Who can invest?

Business angels, family offices and private investors. Depending on your country and the amount, you may need to qualify as a professional or sophisticated investor; we confirm this with you before anything is signed.

How much are you raising, and what for?

A minimum of €10 million. It buys our own fleet through a pooled fund, keeps every agent on payroll, hires tech talent and pays for viral video marketing as we open Paris, Geneva and Courchevel.

Why own cars instead of renting them?

Because owning is cheaper than renting over the life of a car, and because a car we own is a car we control: its condition, its equipment and who drives it. The rental margin stays in LEON.

Why salaried agents when everyone else uses freelancers?

Gig platforms pass around 80% of the fare to independents and get uneven service and stolen clients in return. A salaried, trained agent gives a consistent service, stays loyal to the client relationship, and leaves a higher margin. We keep this model until the company is worth €1 billion.

What is the ticket size and the instrument?

Ticket sizes, valuation and the legal instrument are set out in the investor deck and term sheet, shared after a first call. Tell us the range you have in mind in the form below.
