Piccup

Overview

Piccup is an Egyptian app that offers families an alternative to the traditional school bus: safe, door-to-door transport for students, paid as a monthly subscription. It aims to make the daily school run easier and more affordable for parents, at more than 30% less than typical school bus fees. Parents can follow their children's ride in real time from pickup to drop-off. Founder Khaled Bakr pitched it on Shark Tank Egypt in season 2. On the show it closed a deal.
