Back in 2016, an ambitious group of Hult students saw the
potential in taking cutting-edge VR and AR technology back to
their native Colombia. While Carlos Rojas was working towards
his Masters in International Marketing and Juan Felipe Santos
was finishing his Bachelor of Business Administration, the
concept of Viewy was born. Carlos and Juan then co-founded
Viewy alongside Manuela Ospina, a student from Universidad
de los Andes.
2018 has been a great year for Viewy. In March they won a prize at
the 100 Open Startups event at Open Innovation Week Brazil. In April
they were accepted onto the Oracle Scaleup Ecosystem Accelerator
Program. Their biggest plan for the year ahead is to expand their
company across the world.
Work ethic, creativity, presentation skills and—most of all—an
eagerness to succeed is what the team believes characterizes the
Hult DNA. It is those skills and mindset that helped the team test the
waters to ensure they devised a winning startup strategy. The team is
thrilled to see how much the company has grown in such short time,
and would love to hear from current Hult students and alumni if they
want to join them on the next stage of their adventure!
The Viewy team aims to build a VR agency that focuses on
developing apps to improve marketing and training processes
for big companies. Through their own apps, they offer a SaaS
(Software as a Service) model. The company officially launched
in January 2017 and, just four months later, they closed their first
deal. Since then it’s been go-go-go. They are the first company
in Colombia to have a VR partnership with Lenovo and TP-Link.
To date, Viewy has been self-funded, but they are now actively
looking for external investors.
