BackWay
Our one-line pitch is…
BackWay is an iOS app that helps you navigate around and save your favourite places. BackWay shows you both direction and distance in a simple UI, and it works 100% offline!
Introduce your team, and tell us one interesting thing about each member. We are…
Božidar: CS and math student. Passionate about new technologies, sports, photography and movies. Even played an under-aged gigolo ina TV show called “TV Sudnica” or “TV courthouse” 🙂
Alma: design student. Loves music, ballet and design. She is developing a great and simpleUI, and is really fast (made the BackWay design in Ilustrator in one afternoon).
Earning recognition Photo credit: BackWayWe received our initial capital through…
We’re self-financed for now.
The real pain about starting a business in Croatia is…
Slow bureaucracy as well as high fiscal and para-fiscal charges. The atmosphere is gradually getting better for young entrepreneurs and companies.
The people who inspire us are…
(Internationally) Steve Jobs – a man who changed the world together with Steve Wozniak; they developed computers that are easy to use. If Jobs and Wozniak didn’t start Apple, we might not be doing the things we do now.
(In Croatia) Matija Kopić – a young entrepreneur from Osijek with positive thinking and energy that makes everybody feel better. His startup Farmeron is, in our opinion, one of the best startups in Croatia, and perhaps even in Europe.
Our Apple ecosystem comprising an iMac, iPhone and iPad together with iCloud, which brings them all together. Twitter is also one of the apps that really makes it easy to communicate and find answers fast.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
Our iMac (obviously).
The worst piece of advice we ever got was…
A few people told us to change the name of our startup (there seems to be a porn site with a similar name). Clearly, we didn’t listen to them.
The one thing that will make us quit is…
Armageddon.
Our inside joke is…
BackWay the right way 🙂
You might not believe it, but we…
… are cousins.
We’ll call ourselves successful when…
We get our first million.
The startup we really want to see on inventures’ Startup Pick is…
