BykSmart Inc.

BykSmart accelerates the growing popularity of cycling by providing lower stress bike routes and rewards for riding.

By providing lower-stress bike routes, BykSmart empowers more people to use cycling for their short (1-3 mile) trips that are often taken by car. Without the stress of traffic danger, traffic congestion, and parking, biking will be the mode of choice for reaching more local destinations and businesses. The company is self-funded and currently approaching beta launch in Chicago and NYC. The founder is Nate Hutcheson, a Chicago-based social entrepreneur who has worked with a number of startup and nonprofit organizations on business development and capacity building.
