At a Glance: January 2018


Our year started off with a bang! If you haven’t heard yet, Blacklane announced its largest investment to date in January. But that’s not all that happened. Read on to find out more!

  • We raised our largest investment to date. New cities, global airport concierge services, and product innovation will be funded by this Series D round.
  • After our successful Christmas campaign, we launched Blacklane’s second #SurpriseRides campaign, this time for Valentine’s Day. You still have the chance to win a ride for you and your special someone on Valentine’s Day. Sign up here!
  • TechCrunch paid Blacklane a visit. They caught up with our CTO, Frank Steuer, to learn more about our company, app, and what makes our service different from our competitors. Watch the interview below.

  • Blacklane will be attending BTS London this year in full force. A large team of employees will be present, our CRO, Sascha Meskendahl, will be speaking, and we will have a booth. In the lead-up to the show, BTS released a blog post covering our take on “Why Airport Concierge Services Will Take Off.
  • Berlin hosted its Fashion Week in mid-January and Blacklane enjoyed a celebrity takeover. German TV personality, Tanja Bülter, updated Instagram and Facebook with her experiences of the show and with Blacklane’s service.
