Linkbycar is a French SaaS startup founded in 2021 that builds a universal platform to collect, process, and aggregate data from connected vehicles (thermal, electric, and hybrid) across multiple brands.[1][2][6] It serves insurers, fleet managers, maintenance companies, warranty providers, and mobility players by solving data silos—enabling predictive maintenance, driver profiling, battery health monitoring, theft recovery, and usage-based insurance without additional telematics hardware.[1][2][3] Partnerships with 18 car brands like Stellantis, Mercedes, and BMW provide raw data enriched by AI algorithms for turnkey insights, driving efficiency in automotive services.[1][6] Backed by investors like Ethias Ventures and LeanSquare, Linkbycar shows strong growth momentum through European expansion and platform enhancements.[2]
Linkbycar emerged from a collaboration with a car manufacturer seeking better access to vehicle data, leading founders Ahmed Salem Soumare (CEO), Saidou Soumare, Charles Cagnon, and Eric Navarro to spin out the project in 2021 for intellectual property reasons.[1][5] The team, part of Moove Lab's 8th promotion at Station F (a mobility/autotech accelerator), identified the need to unify fragmented telematics data from diverse vehicles.[1][6] Early traction came from securing partnerships with major OEMs and developing AI-driven anomaly detection, positioning it as a pioneer in connected car data processing.[1][2]
Linkbycar rides the connected vehicle boom, fueled by rising EV adoption, telematics proliferation, and the EU Data Act mandating data access, enabling a shift from reactive to predictive automotive services.[2][7] Timing is ideal as Europe advances in connected cars (targeting Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium), with market forces like insurtech demands for usage-based pricing and fleet efficiency favoring its no-hardware model.[1][2][3] It influences the ecosystem by creating a marketplace for mobility players, boosting data-driven decisions in insurance, maintenance, and EV management, while partnering with OEMs and financiers like Neot Capital to turn battery data into trust-building assets.[1][4]
Linkbycar is poised to dominate Europe's connected car data market by launching advanced algorithms for autonomous data management, a mobility marketplace (targeted for 2023), and pan-European scaling amid surging connected vehicle growth.[1][2] Trends like AI personalization, EV battery optimization, and regulatory data openness will propel it, potentially evolving into a full ecosystem hub linking OEMs, insurers, and fleets. As vehicle connectivity explodes, Linkbycar's enriched data platform will redefine automotive services, delivering the simplified access that sparked its founding.[1][2]
