The company was founded by Gian Luca Petrelli while he was working for his family's olive oil business. He had signed a promotional deal with Whole Foods in the U.S. for his product but couldn't see how that agreement was being implemented. That's where the idea of BeMyEye came from.
In 2016, as well as a 6.5 million euro funding, BeMyEye announced it had acquired rival LocalEyes, making it the biggest European player in the mobile data crowdsourcing space.
In 2017, short after a new 10.5 million dollar funding, BeMyEye announced the acquisition of rival Task360.
Then, in 2019, BeMyEye acquires Streetbee, a Russian crowdsourcing and image recognition provider.
BeMyEye is backed by Europe's leading venture capitalists Nauta Capital, P101 Ventures, 360 Capital Partners and FII Tech Growth.
