About Twiliner
Our Midnight Mission
We believe in a future where everyone can explore the beauty of the world – without compromise. That’s why we’re on a mission to make travel across Europe more sustainable and more comfortable.
By creating an entirely new category in mobility, we’re unlocking a market that didn’t exist before: one where you can dream with peace of mind while traveling with minimal environmental impact.
With our unique lie-flat sleeping seat and smart overnight routes around 1’000 km. we’re closing the comfort gap in long-distance travel.
We offer an experience that redefines affordability, comfort, reliability, and sustainability.
Many said it couldn’t be done. That true lie-flat sleep on the road was impossible. But here we are. Ready to change how Europe travels.
Let’s write the future of travel. Together.
Team
Delaia Tschannen
Head of Marketing
Delaia turned a niche swimwear brand into a Swiss sensation – now making Twiliner the hottest ticket in travel.
When it comes to customer attraction and retention she knows exactly how to make waves.
Gabriele Chiaranz
Head of Finance
Gabriele lives in spreadsheets, dreams in unit economics. 2 PE exits, +70M€ raised for tech companies across sectors (and various business models).
Joël Béla Bourgeois
Co-founder & Product Designer
Joël has tried almost every mode of transport – and designed some of them, too. He believes good design happens where user needs, operational realities, and sustainability meet. That’s why you’ll more likely find him fine-tuning passenger comfort in workshops across Europe than curating a mood board.
Ivan Mele
Co-founder & Experience Designer
Ivan loves to surprise and excite people. He’s obsessed with creating the best night travelling experience in the world. Not just for fun, but to get people to travel on the ground. Ivan doesn’t get up in the morning without clear hypotheses, structures and test scenarios.
Luca Bortolani
Co-founder & CEO
Luca can recite every European night route by heart. Dreams of a world where overnight travel is as comfortable as home – and actually makes a dent in CO2 emissions.
