One city at a time, we are on a mission to develop seamless mobility for a safe and sustainable urban life.

As an organization, we are committed to our drivers with ethical practices and a safe working environment. To our customers, we differentiate ourselves from other ride-hailing apps with our super user-friendly app and excellent customer service. Last but not least, our priority is to maintain a hyperlocal approach in everything we do, from product to operations to marketing. 

We are proud to see Beat leading the FreeNow group in growth in 2021 and we have ambitious plans for 2022. But we need you to help us get closer to our vision: ​​a connected Latin America where the only question is “Where Next?”

We are currently operating in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Greece and are transporting over 24 million riders with the support of more than 700,000 drivers. Our global headquarters are in Athens - where BEAT started back in 2011. We also have offices in Amsterdam.

Our employee base is spread out even wider. We mastered the hybrid workspace with our office and remote locations even before Covid-19. So if you are interested in joining us on our mission, whether based in one of the countries we operate or elsewhere in the world, we are happy to hear from you!
