## About

Established in 2023 and based in Berlin, Germany, KZY Marketplace Solutions GmbH, doing business as Cariqa, offers a platform that connects electric vehicle drivers with charging stations. The company was founded by its CEO, Issam Tidjani, CTO Stefano Bonetta, and CCO Tamara Ciullo. Cariqa provides a consumer-facing EV charging marketplace that allows electric vehicle drivers to find and access charging stations. Drivers can see the direct price of the operator and manage all their EV needs through its mobile app. The company also allows charge point operators to set their prices and reach customers directly. In July 2025, Cariqa raised EUR 4 million in seed funding co-led by Anthemis Group and Contrarian Ventures.

The company plans to utilize the July 2025 funding to expand into European markets, increase product development and engineering capacity, and establish collaborations with charge point operators.
