Class of 1984: 40 years on, a reunion full of memories...
Created by a Kedger, Ornikar has raised 35 million euros!
A 2011 KEDGE graduate, Benjamin Gaignault today heads Ornikar, the online driving school that has just completed a fundraising round of 35 million euros
With Ornikar, Benjamin Gaignault has revolutionised learning how to drive! By creating the first online driving school, he offers courses that are less expensive. The funds raised can find nearby instructors via geolocation and reserve lesson times in just a few clicks! At the time, the idea was so good that traditional driving schools were worried, and who immediately got into defence mode and alerted the government.
Four years later, in 2018, and despite opposition by professionals in the sector, the company raised 10 million euros to accelerate its growth!
It’s been such a fantastic success that, with this exceptional raising of funds (35 million euros), the start-up wants to offer new services such as insurance and vehicle sales and leasing, while continuing its expansion in Europe. Its end goal is to “become the only platform for the young along the entire chain of their access to mobility”!
“Ornikar has succeeded in asserting itself as the solution that best responds to the needs of young adults, bringing a larger flexibility and better user experience”, Nicolas Herschtel, Assistant Director, Bpifrance Large Venture.
