Tickengo Closes Seed Round With Kima Ventures So You Can Charge Hitchhikers

With gas at roughly $4/gallon, French carpooling site Covoiturage.fr has just announced some 1 million carpoolers on its site. Now, its competitor Tickengo has just scored a seed round with Kima Ventures. Coincidence?The rather active seed fund of Xavier Niel and Jeremie Berrebi did not reveal the exact amount invested inTickengo's platform, which was initially launched in 2006 in only 4 French cities: Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse. It wasn't until 2008 that the platform opened up to all of France and later became available to the US, Canada, the UK and Belgium.
