Festomat, a Graduate of the Zagreb Founder Institute, was recently featured in the February 2014 edition of Forbes, in which it was hailed as one of the most promising and successful Croatian startup companies.

Launched in March 2013, Festomat has solidified its reputation as a provider of ticket validation solutions. With an extensive network of partners, Festomat offers local venues customized bracelets, plastic cards, handheld readers, and entrance portals to manage ticket validation. Their unique system enables venues to simplify and expedite venue check-in, eliminate ticket forgery, and utilize analytic services for events.

Because of their rapid success in the ticketing industry, Festomat has been covered in numerous prominent Croatian media outlets, including Business.hr and Dnevnik.hr, among others. Last year, Netokracija announced Festomat as the winner of the Belgrade Venture Forum Startup Competition where they were reported to be a "wild card" pick by the StartLabs incubator in Belgrade, Serbia.
