01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Vodio was a Tel Aviv-based mobile startup founded in early 2011 by Jonathan Messika, Uri Twig and Ishay Weinstock. It built a personalized video discovery app that organized online videos into channels such as tech, entertainment and sports, and served up new clips based on what was being shared on social networks combined with each user's taste. The app planned to make videos a starting point for discovering products and events, such as concert tickets matched to a user's interests.
