Our take
Beat offer a ride-sharing mobile app, similar to Uber, except Beat are placing the focus on adapting and localising their product and operations to fit the local communities they operate in.
They aim to become part of the fabric of the city and help the local people improve their lives, while delivering an amazing transportation experience at affordable prices.
In South America they are solving a very real market need for affordable transport in cities with limited infrastructure and providing an enormous economic opportunity for those living in near-poverty. Beat have become the fastest growing ride hailing app in Latin America.
