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 post job offers or advertise products and services on the island.
This website was founded in December 2007. Its creator is the Cuban Hiram Centelles, a computer engineer graduated from the "José Antonio Echeverría" Technological University of Havana (CUJAE), who had as his partner and co-founder of the project Carlos Javier Peña Díaz.
Since its inception, this platform was very functional, which led to its widespread use and rapid popularity in Cuba. Three months after its establishment, 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 readers did not need to be connected to the Internet to access the website's content. Once downloaded to a computer, Revolico could facilitate contact between clients and buyers, just as if they were consulting newspaper ads.
In 2011, Revolico was established as a company based in Córdoba, Spain. It wasn't until June 2016 that the platform was no longer blocked by the government on the island.
Currently, Revolico consolidates its leadership as the main classifieds page used by Cubans.
