The company facilitates ridesharing services, primarily targeting individuals looking for economical transportation solutions.

The founder's prior entrepreneurial history is not detailed, and there are no mentions of subsidiaries or parent companies. The company has completed a total of 4 deals, with its latest funding round being a Seed round in April 2015, raising USD 0.03 mn, bringing the total amount raised to USD 0.03 mn, with NXTP Ventures as an investor.Aventones, since its integration into BlaBlaCar in 2015, offers a robust platform for carpooling, connecting drivers and passengers who wish to share travel costs on pre-planned journeys. The service is designed for individuals seeking affordable transportation options while encouraging sustainable travel by decreasing the number of vehicles on the road. Users can access the platform via a mobile application or website to search for rides, book seats, and communicate with drivers. The platform has cultivated a diverse community of users, including commuters and travelers, particularly in regions where carpooling is gaining popularity.Aventones generates revenue primarily through transaction fees from rides booked on its platform. Each time a passenger books a seat in a carpool, a nominal fee is charged, which is a percentage of the total trip cost, facilitating the peer-to-peer interaction between users. This model allows drivers and passengers to connect directly while Aventones provides necessary infrastructure. The company may also explore partnerships with local businesses for integrated services, tying revenue streams directly to user engagement and satisfaction with affordable transportation solutions.Future growth plans for Redes de Aventones S.A.P.I. de C.V. include the design and launch of new products aimed at enhancing user experience, although specific product details and release dates have not been publicly disclosed. The company is expected to expand its services into new markets, particularly in Latin America, but no specific geographic targets or timelines have been provided. The recent Seed funding of USD 0.03 mn will likely support these initiatives, as indicated by the rationale from the acquisition by Comuto SA in April 2015.
