READMIO
CEO: JOZEF ŠIMKO COUNTRY: CZECH REPUBLIC STARTED: 2019
What is your origin story? My name is Jozef Šimko and I am the co-founder of Readmio. Coming up with the application was a long process, but the idea initially came to me when I was reading to my child and thought there must be a more interactive way to tell stories. Having a background in building mobile apps, I wanted to combine the newest tech with reading. So, with co-founders from the publishing industry, we created Readmio. Building the initial product was a lengthy process, but what was very
beneficial was having co-founders from different backgrounds. The majority of the team actually worked together on a previous start-up called Inloopx, which was sold to Avast in 2018. This was a massive benefit, since we had experience working together and knew we would make a good team. What is the company working on right now? preparing stories in other languages. The next language we’ll create stories and audio for is German, and we are very excited to enter the DACH region. Pretty soon, we hope to have all the EU languages covered! In addition, we’re actively growing in the UK and Ireland, and searching for partners there. We possess some incredible content and have already joined with some amazing companies such as Kia, Tonies, Booktrust and many more! Currently, we are working on expanding to new regions and What is the next step? Right now, we are in growth mode. The next steps are to keep adding fresh educational content and improve the product as we expand. To do this, we are always looking for talented people, amazing partners and new users. We’re also starting
IMMERSIVE READING With the Readmio app, sounds are triggered by the narrator’s voice
to work with schools and publishers – and are very interested in growing this part of the business. One of our future goals is to keep evolving the company in this direction. What one thing does the business need most? We are looking for all types of partners to create incredible content – to join forces and grow together. In the UK, we have already seen how beneficial our product, content and audience can be to other brands. So, we are excited to work with as many companies as possible, to share the benefit of Readmio!
