Midware is an independent company based in Prague. We run three ventures in very different markets: super-premium pet food for Central Europe, a live subway app for New York City, and a daily read on market sentiment for investors.

About Midware

One company. Three very different markets.

Midware a.s. was founded in Prague in 2006. Today it is home to three ventures that share little on the surface — dog and cat food, subway trains and stock-market sentiment.

What they do share is a way of working: small teams that stay close to their customers, products we operate ourselves every day, and technology wherever it makes things simpler and faster.

Our ventures

What we run

Three businesses with their own brands and customers, run under one roof.

Super-premium food for dogs and cats.

A family company from Opava and one of the leading importers of high-quality dog and cat food in the Czech Republic.

NYC Express

Take the train at the platform, or wait for the express?

NYC Express follows every New York subway train live and gives riders one clear answer, door to door: which train to take, where to switch and when they will arrive. It plans trips across the subway and the city's buses — local, Select Bus Service and express — and reads the service alerts so riders don't have to.

  • Every subway train, followed live
  • Door-to-door trip planning with walking routes

Eye of the Herd

Let sheep be sheep.

A daily read of the mood around the AI trade. Eye of the Herd measures what investors and the loudest voices on X are saying about AI stocks, maps the narratives that move them, and raises alerts when the crowd shifts — so you can watch the herd without running with it.

  • Sentiment gauges, read every day
  • Narratives and the “megaphones” behind them
  • Alerts by browser notification or email

How we work

Operators, not spectators.

  1. (01)

    We run what we build.

    We stay close to the work — the orders, the code and the customer inbox. Decisions are made by the people who will live with them.

  2. (02)

    Few products, done properly.

    We would rather run three businesses well than thirty badly, and we plan in years rather than quarters.

  3. (03)

    Technology where it helps.

    Live data, modern cloud infrastructure and careful software make our products faster for customers and simpler for us to run.
