Company profile

researched Aug 2026

OneKey (getonekey.io) was a French company that provided site-selection analysis for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, positioning its product as a way to find the most profitable locations at which to build EV charging stations [3]. Its Y Combinator company listing categorises it under energy storage and electric vehicles [3].

The company was founded in 2021, was based in Paris, France, and participated in Y Combinator's Summer 2020 batch with a team size of three [3]. Y Combinator lists Christophe Barre and Ulysse Prygiel as former founders, with Barre subsequently described as Founder & CEO of Tandem [3]. The company's status on that listing is Inactive, and its former domain getonekey.io now resolves to unrelated Vietnamese-language sports-odds content rather than any EV-related product [0][2][3].

Traction

The only quantitative datapoint available is a team size of three reported on the Y Combinator company page [3]. No customer, revenue or usage figures are disclosed in the sources.

Latest developments

The Y Combinator company page lists OneKey's status as Inactive and refers to Christophe Barre and Ulysse Prygiel as former founders, with Barre listed as Founder & CEO of Tandem [3]. The getonekey.io domain, including its /privacy path, now serves unrelated Vietnamese-language football-odds content, indicating the original site is no longer operating [0][2].

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, risks & controversies

Market position

Y Combinator classifies the company within the energy storage and electric vehicles categories; no market share, ranking or comparative data is available in the sources [3].

Technology

Sources describe the offering only at the level of identifying the most profitable sites for EV charging stations; no technical detail on data sources, models or platform architecture is available [3].

Go-to-market

Site developers and operators considering where to build electric vehicle charging stations, implied by the product positioning of finding the most profitable sites for such stations [3].

Geography

Headquartered in Paris, France [3]. No other locations or markets are documented in the sources.

Risks & controversies

Public information on the company is minimal and largely limited to a single Y Combinator listing; the former company domain has been repurposed for unrelated content, and several sources bearing the OneKey name refer to different companies entirely (a Hong Kong crypto hardware wallet maker, an Italian marketing firm and a US entity in a patent database), creating a substantial risk of data conflation [0][2][4][5][6][7].
