Σωστά, φοβερός ο τύπος!

It’s not entirely fair to call Skobbler, a spin-off from GPS manufacturer Navigon, a Berlin startup. For a start, the team is split between a small administrative office in Berlin (just 10 people) and a booming tech branch in Cluj-Napoca, Romania (65 people and counting).

The company also has more than a few years under its belt. Peter Scheufen (Navigon’s founder, now Skobbler’s CEO), Marcus Thielking, Philipp Kandal and Oliver Kόhn broke away from Navigon to start Skobbler in 2008, mainly to focus more on mobile services.
