Revolico is the leading classifieds portal in Cuba. On its pages, Cubans can promote the buying or selling of houses, appliances, cars, and other vehicles, as well as advertise job offers or products and services on the island.
This website was founded in December 2007. Its creator is Cuban Hiram Centelles, a computer engineer graduated from the "José Antonio Echeverría" Technological University of Havana (CUJAE), who had Carlos Javier Peña Díaz as a partner and co-founder of the project.
From its inception, this platform was very functional, which led to its widespread use and rapid popularity in Cuba. Three months after its founding, the Cuban government blocked access to the site from the island. However, the creators of this website found various ways to reach their users.
One of the characteristics that allowed them to succeed was that it didn't require readers to be connected to the Internet to access the content on the website. Once downloaded on a computer, Revolico could facilitate contact between clients and buyers, just like consulting newspaper ads.
In 2011, Revolico was established as a company with its registered office in Córdoba, Spain. It was not until June 2016 that the platform was unblocked by the government on the island.
Currently, Revolico consolidates its leadership as the main classifieds page used by Cubans.
