Aventones is a ridesharing platform that connects drivers with empty seats to passengers traveling along similar routes, solving the problem of expensive and inconvenient intercity transportation. The service allows users to book rides through a mobile app or website, matching drivers and passengers for shared long-distance trips. It primarily serves travelers in Mexico and Latin America. The platform gained significant traction, becoming the most successful ridesharing platform in Latin America, and was acquired by BlablaCar, a global leader in ridesharing. It was backed by investors including ALL Venture Partners, NXTP Labs, and Fundación Chile.
