The Serbia Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the Serbia 2024 program.
After meticulous selection process and intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints, constant evaluation, and feedback from investors and mentors, just 8 companies were able to make it through.
Each of these Founders have demonstrated a high level of perseverance and creativity, and their businesses have been thoroughly vetted and supported by a panel of Serbia's top startup experts and investors.
And now, without further ado, we present the Alumni of the Serbia program:
- NavBlind - Offering a mobile app that empowers blind and visually impaired individuals to navigate urban environments independently by providing precise navigation for public transportation and points of interest through cutting-edge BLE Beacon technology.

- Moveably D.O.O. - Facilitating seamless connections between clients and reliable transport providers by enabling clients to post their needs while carriers submit competitive bids, fostering a transparent and efficient marketplace.
- Taptivity - Connecting recreational athletes with sports facilities, competitions, trainers, and peers for joint sports activities while offering tailored sports content to foster engagement and social connection.
- Project Codes - Providing digital products for users, like in-game items, by purchasing everyday FMCG products, bridging the gap between cash payments and digital rewards.
- Via Ventura - Offering a mobile app that keeps kids engaged and learning during family vacations with interactive digital tour packages, ensuring they stay entertained without relying on social media.
- ParKings - Providing an app that helps drivers in busy urban areas effortlessly find, reserve, and navigate to parking spots, while allowing space owners to securely rent out unused spaces with ease and earn extra income.
The Serbia 2024 program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup.
