    #48 Alessio Treglia , CEO & Founder, Elerent
    Jan 24 2024
    Alessio Treglia is the CEO and founder of Elerent, a shared mobility franchising operating in 60 countries around Southern Europe. By sharing their know-how and promoting the values of sustainability and safety, Elerent enables business owners to become franchisees and bring multimodal sharing mobility in their cities. In this way, mobility services are managed directly by local actors, who are in touch with the municipality, know city initiatives and hot points, and can manage operations faster and more directly. The ideal franchisee manages different businesses in the area, such as restaurants, hotels or other services, so it’s easy to create partnerships, marketing initiatives and offer discounts to riders. Elerent is 90% a franchising, with little operations managed directly from the team. For now, Elerent has no venture capitalists, relying only on their own profitability and franchising partnerships. Before embarking on his shared mobility journey, Alessio worked for different types of franchising in Italy and Spain, such as food and retail. Mobility was a new thing for him, but an indeed fascinating ground to apply his deep knowledge to create a franchising in the sharing mobility sector.
