To complete the team is Luis, a publicist by profession who founded Polyhedricoma company dedicated to marketing and communication that has not stopped growing and reaping success in its five years of life.
How did the idea come about?
The idea arose in 2014 when several of its founders detected a clear need to transmit information through interactive and animated content.
By using this type of content, they realized that they captured the attention of the audience much better and aroused their interest by making them participate in it.
The problem was that to generate them they needed many hours of work from a programmer, so his next step was to create lya tool available to everyone to simplify and speed up the creation of all kinds of digital resources.
In 2015 they launched the open web version and since its launch they have reached many milestones, have attracted investment and now have 100,000 users in more than 150 countries.
In the words of the CEO of Genial.ly, John Rubio, “FounderX is a unique opportunity for any startup that wants to go global. For us it is an impressive springboard for some of the most influential people in the international technology landscape to know what we are doing.”
For his part, the director of the Founder Institute of Andalusia, Bartos Canete, pointed out that this event “may be the largest concentration of talent and companies with great future potential in today’s technology sector. In the event of these days the companies and people who are going to transform the world in the coming years have been seen. And of course Genial.ly is going to be one of them”.
