Tuesday July 28 was a very special day to the whole Sonico team and our users, due to our second anniversary!

What do these 2 years of Sonico mean to me?

My first thought was…”wow, only 2 years…it seems much too long” :)

Jogging my memory, during the last 12 months we have achieved international recognition thanks to the effort, dedication, and ability we have shown. We were included in the top 50 Argentine companies in the “Great Place To Work” ranking. We have been invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos and in Rio de Janeiro, to the MIT to speak about our case, and to many other debate and analysis events on communication, technology and social networks. We have got the 5° place in the BusinessWeek magazine ranking on technology startups with the biggest growth potential in the world. We closed the round of capitalization with first line investors. We have launched a great number of improvements and new functionalities in the site, and now we are chosen by 40 million people as their social network. This position lets us reach other goals and opportunities. We have widened our horizon…

I have no doubts that if we managed to get here with you, we will be able to go higher, offering a first level product while we develop a technology company from Latin America that competes with the best companies in the world, in a pleasant and professionally motivating environment.

Why not? If Juan Carlos believes so…he is a Sonico user who visited our offices in just 1 hour and perceived what makes this all happen.

I feel very proud of sharing this adventure with you.

PS: Acknowledgements!!!

I want to thank everyone who left a photo, a video, a greeting, a comment on our public page in Spanish and in Portuguese, to those who have sent virtual gifts of Sonico’s anniversary, and for joining our celebration in different ways. We have uploaded a video to our public page, where I speak about Sonico’s mission, evolution and future as a social network, and also answer some of the questions our users made.

I would also like to thank the winners of our contest in Argentina, who came here to raise a toast with us. These are the photos. It was great to know you all in person, because it is through YOU that we can get closer to all our Sonico users, who build our social network, day by day.

Thanks!
