Register No. 123
Is Abfahrt! European?
Yes. Abfahrt! is under verified European control.
Abfahrt! comes from a one-person company in Berlin whose founder runs it and says it has no outside funding. The shareholder list filed with the register could not be read online when we checked, so this rests on the register entry and the company's statement.
