The Problem
Taxi drivers in Düsseldorf leave €15,000–€25,000 per year on the table — not because they drive badly, but because they position badly. They queue at the airport when the Messe is generating 18 fares in 45 minutes at north entrance. They sit in Altstadt at 10:30 when Königsallee hotels are producing €55/hr. The information exists. No one packages it for the driver in real time.
The Solution
Zone Intelligence Engine
14 zones ranked by live yield/hr. Factors in fare, tip probability, empty drive cost, and competitor density. Updates every 15 minutes.
Tariff Precision
Built on the Düsseldorf tariff effective 1 May 2025. €5 start fee creates a mathematical paradox: 3 short Altstadt fares at €80/hr beats 1 airport fare at €65/hr. TaxiIntel exploits this.
Proven in Simulation
8-beat shift simulation live at equinox-suite.com.
Beat 6 (12:30, Altstadt):
3 fares in 22 minutes = €80.67/hr
Start fees alone: €15 (51% of revenue)
Same 22 min at the airport: 0 fares. €0/hr.
Event Calendar Integration
Messe Düsseldorf hosts 40+ major fairs/year. TaxiIntel detects registration spikes and pre-positions drivers at nord entrance — before competitors queue at süd.

|---|
| Düsseldorf launch | 500 | €49/mo | €294K | Month 6 |
| NRW (5 cities) | 5,000 | €49/mo | €2.94M | Year 2 |

400,000 licensed taxi drivers across Europe. The infrastructure is built once and scales to every city with a public tariff. Düsseldorf to Hamburg is a config file, not a rebuild.
Why Now
Tariff Reform Catalyst
Düsseldorf's new tariff (1 May 2025) creates a yield complexity that manual positioning cannot solve. The market just became receptive. Drivers know their earnings are shifting — they don't know why.
Zero Competition
No product in the German market provides real-time zone yield intelligence to taxi drivers. Dispatch apps route fares. We optimise the driver's positioning before the fare exists.
What We Are Building Next
Düsseldorf PWA is live and deployable. Pipeline: Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt (identical tariff structure, immediate portability). Ibiza variant already deployed (seasonal demand model). B2B fleet licensing under negotiation with Taxi e.G. Düsseldorf — first institutional client conversation active.
Investment Round · Seed
€200,000 sought
Use of funds: City expansion (Hamburg + Cologne), fleet B2B sales, tariff engine for 3 additional cities, 12 months runway.
Structure: Revenue share from first subscriber · Equity or convertible note · One strategic partner preferred over syndicate.
Ideal investor: Operational background in mobility, SaaS, or fleet management. Network in German taxi / transport sector a significant advantage.
