AVA is a Swiss designated-driver app founded in 2026 by Bogdan Tanase. When you can't or shouldn't drive — after a drink, on medication, exhausted, or simply preferring someone else at the wheel — a verified AVA driver comes to you and drives you home in your own car. No more leaving your vehicle behind, no more expensive taxi rides back the next morning. AVA's payment model is intentionally simple and card-free: 90% of the fare is paid in cash directly to the driver at the end of the ride; the remaining 10% is a donation to AVA paid via a Swiss QR-Bill scanned in the user's own banking app. AVA is available in 19 languages, launches in Switzerland with a progressive rollout across Europe and worldwide, and operates across four verticals: AVA (drink & drive), AVA Vet (pets to the vet), AVA Kids (children to school), and AVA Silver (assisted rides for seniors). Mission: zero alcohol — zero drugs — behind the wheel. Website: https://ava-apps.com

5Founder quote
A quotable line from Bogdan Tanase, founder & CEO.
"I built AVA because I lost too many friends to a bad decision made at 2am with car keys in hand. One great evening should never cost anyone their license, their car, or their life. AVA is the missing option between 'drive drunk' and 'abandon your car'."
— Bogdan Tanase, Founder & CEO, AVA
