episode 5: @Unfold | Democratizing the Power of Design with Unfold CEO Alfonso Cobo
In this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we are extremely excited to bring you Alfonso Cobo, CEO of Unfold, the fastest growing app for creating and sharing stories. We talk through Alfonso’s childhood growing up in the Canary Islands and his early struggles with traditional education. We hear how Alfonso eventually found his way to Parsons School of Design where he aced his courses and began making strides to what he thought was going to be a career in architecture. That was until a school project showcasing his portfolio led him to develop Unfold. Since its inception, Unfold has brought in millions of users who have created tens of millions of stories while maintaining an overwhelming pace of 100,000 downloads a day. At just 25, Alfonso and his Co-founder Andy McCune, 23, have big dreams of what Unfold will become.
