Hi All,
So what is Grovo, what do we do, why do we do it, who we are, and how will we use this blog? All fair questions. Before I dive in, my name is Jeff Fernandez and I am the Cofounder and CEO of Grovo – I’m excited to share our inspiration and vision.
What is Grovo?
Grovo is the web service that makes using the best websites & mobile apps easy. It’s a dynamic learning platform and produces entertaining, 2-minute video lessons, organized into 15 minute courses. Once you’ve watched a course, you can become Grovo Certified by taking a quick test.
Grovo is simple and intuitive. It allows you to follow like-minded users and collaborate on best practices. Comparing your progress with others is fun and promotes continued growth. Grovo covers many of the leading web and mobile apps, and it releases new courses every month.
Why do we do it?
We created Grovo because people are often overwhelmed and confused by all the Internet has to offer. We know that it can transform our lives both personally and professionally, and in the new economy, using it effectively is necessary.
It’s the largest information-sharing platform in the world, and using it well delivers opportunity and equality. Our mission is to deliver on this promise:
More Internet, to more people, over more mediums.
Everyone should be able to use the Internet and mobile apps for all they’re worth.
Who are we?
Surag Mungekar, Nick Narodny, and I cofounded Grovo in early 2010. Surag is Grovo’s Chief Technologist and Nick is Grovo’s VP of Production and Finance. Before founding Grovo, Jeff and Nick worked together at Clickable, where Jeff was a Product Manager and Nick was a Sales Team Lead, and Surag was a Senior Engineer at Nuance.
