Founded in 2020 by Cai Felip and Jordi Conejero, Union Avatars specializes in creating hyper-realistic avatars and was created with the goal of “helping companies and users shape the future of digital identity.” The startup offers various tools to create avatars in diverse styles and facilitates identity interoperability across different platforms.
This is not the first investment made by Mango StartUp Studio, the startup accelerator launched in 2022 to drive innovation, identify new growth opportunities, and participate in the development of new technologies or business models. Since its launch, the project has invested in La Más Mona, a platform for renting party dresses and accessories; Payflow, an on-demand salary and flexible compensation company; and Recovo, a sustainability startup specialized in the resale of fabric surplus.
