How it started

Early days

InternetQ was founded in 2000 by their current chief executive officer Panagiotis Dimitropoulos as a website design and development company. It later began offering mobile marketing services. In 2005 it received investment from NBGI Private Equity, and established InternetQ UK. The company also opened offices in New York in the United States and Warsaw, Poland in 2006. Its expansion continued elsewhere in Europe, including to various CIS countries.

In 2010 the company was listed on the London's AIM stock exchange and further expanded its operations into Latin America, Middle East and Africa.

Product development and launches

Akazoo was InternetQ's first social media and social networking product. It was developed in 2007 and launched in 2008. It allowed users to share text, photos and videos, to chat and play games together.

At the Mobile World Congress in February 2012, InternetQ launched the Akazoo social music platform for operators. An expansion on its previous platform, Akazoo 2.0 included functions to allow users to play, download, share, and access local and international music.
