Floqq
Floqq was an online marketplace of video courses taught by industry experts, focused primarily on Latin American markets (Chile, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil). Founded in Madrid in 2012, it raised a small seed round in 2013 but its founders departed by 2015 and the company appears largely dormant today (~4 employees as of 2026).
