TTribbu
Tribbu (formerly Hoop Carpool, rebranded in September 2025) is a Madrid-based carpooling platform that matches drivers and passengers sharing daily commuting routes via a proprietary route-and-schedule matching algorithm. Originally focused on B2B deployments with companies and universities (Iberostar, Mercedes-Benz, Schneider Electric, Universidad Complutense), it opened to individual consumers in 2025 and monetises through Energy Savings Certificates (CAEs), paying drivers around €1 per passenger per 25km. It has facilitated over 500,000 shared rides across more than 100 partner organisations and raised over €2M in October 2025 from strategic investors Iberdrola and Grupo Ruiz.
