They are the largest advertising agency on the planet. At least in terms of the number of ‘advertisers’. In fact, the nearly 40,000 users and the more than 50,000 ads created in the app are clearly that, ads of people who feel identified with their brands and exposed.

money that they needed in the last round. The PayPro is based in London and they are  about to open offices in Dublin.

interesting projects that have that look to the Anglo-saxon market. We are confident that the
investment portfolio we have, follows very well these parameters, and the collaboration
agreements we have reached with public and private Irish entities for the development of a
startups incubator with a Spanish origin will help us to detect first hand other interesting projects that could have that focus of growth. We want bring startups from Spain to Ireland as a first step to grow in the anglosaxon market, especially after Brexit problem.”
