Overview
BEAT, formerly known as Taxibeat, was a leading technology company in the ride-hailing industry, providing innovative and efficient transportation solutions to millions of users in Europe and Latin America.
Founded in 2011, BEAT has transformed the way people commute by leveraging cutting-edge technology and user-centric approaches. BEAT's mission was to connect riders with safe, reliable, and convenient transportation options, while also empowering drivers with flexible income opportunities. Through its intuitive mobile application, BEAT enabled seamless communication and real-time coordination between riders and drivers, ensuring a superior user experience.
Taxibeat had raised under $7 million, representing a good return for its investors, which include Hummingbird Ventures and Openfund.
The ride-hailing service was acquired by MyTaxi in February 2017, and was soon renamed to Beat. MyTaxi is a subsidiary of the automotive manufacturer Daimler AG.
My Contributions
I was a co-founder and a key member of the BEAT team and as a Design and Product lead, I played a crucial role in the company's growth and success, by driving strategic initiatives and contributing to the company's overall vision.
I lead initiatives to enhance the platform's functionality, introducing new features and optimizing the user interface to streamline the ride-hailing process. My understanding of customer needs and market trends has helped BEAT maintain a competitive edge in the industry.
