Jan, David, and Pavel met in high school. At just 13 years old, they launched their first business—developing mobile apps, websites, and e-shops. Eventually, they built their own development agency and successfully sold two of their projects.
During their studies, they all encountered bullying, and when they tried to intervene, the situation either backfired or got worse. At 17, they decided to create something to change this, and they launched the first non-profit version of FaceUp for schools. This platform allowed students to safely and anonymously report bullying. Within the first week, 100 schools signed up, and more followed. Thanks to thousands of reports, the platform saved several lives.
In 2020, companies started showing interest in using the platform to improve workplace environments and address whistleblowing issues. In the second half of the year, the corporate version of FaceUp was launched, evolving into a commercial B2B SaaS. Today, over 1,600 companies in more than 60 countries use the platform, and it has expanded to universities, sports clubs, government institutions, and other organizations. FaceUp has gained significant traction in the US, where hundreds of companies have already implemented it.
