History
BeeSafe was founded on March 20, 2015 by Peter Stražovec and Michal Kačerík.[4] The project was a winner of Žilina’s Startup Weekend 2013[3] and a StartupAwards.SK 2015 finalist. Later on, the app was released in the Android and iOS marketplace.[5] The whole BeeSafe project was in The Spot booster and incubator in Bratislava for three months. [6]
BeeSafe entered into an agreement with the city of Piešťany in November 2015 to increase the security of its citizen by connecting the mobile app with the police platform. It is the first city that started using the BeeSafe platform. Further on, the application tries to help people in other Slovak cities. The cities can see the users only if they are in danger.[7]
