Loquis is a travel podcasting platform with the slogan "The Travel Podcasting Platform". Founded in 2017 in Italy, it is the brainchild of Bruno Pellegrini, a renowned digital entrepreneur in Italy and Europe. The company's vision is to create value for real people in the real world using digital transformation. Pellegrini, known for his successful ventures such as OffSide, NessunoTV, TheBlogTV, and Userfarm, has a strong track record in predicting trends, with foresight into the rise of user-generated content and crowdsourcing as early as 2004.
After the exit of Userfarm, Pellegrini assembled a research group in 2016 with MBA fellows and ex-colleagues to explore the potential of audio content. By 2018, Loquis had evolved into a concrete and well-defined project, with a team comprising senior developers, user interaction and audio designers, geo-mapping experts, and podcast pioneers. The platform, known as LOQUIS - A WORLD THAT SPEAKS, enables users to share "short form geo-local PODCAST" that can be enjoyed in a screenless manner while engaging with the surrounding environment.
The company recently secured a significant €3.78M Venture Round investment on 06 May 2024 from notable investors including P101, Pi Campus, CDP Venture Capital, and Innova Venture. This latest injection of capital positions Loquis to further pursue its mission of revolutionizing travel podcasting and leveraging the power of audio content to enhance real-world experiences.
