Scool.ro – a social networking site where you can meet your classmates

Scool.ro – a Romanian social network site has a new investor, IIF Investment Fund, that has become the minority owner.

Scool.ro was launched in 2007 as another venture of Apetonic.com. Scool.ro offers a place where members of the online community can find their current or former friends and classmates. Scool.ro is to become an unique album of photographs and memories from school of both young people and their parents, kind of memento for future generations. Launch of the service was accompanied by an inventive marketing campaign directed to school and university students in Romania.


„We are still working on the development of the site and on spreading the word across Romania. I believe that Scool.ro has a good chance to stand out against other Romanian community-type Internet services. Winning over such a valuable investor as IIF Fund will first of all enable us to intensify our works on new website functionalities and further development of its image. We also plan to broaden our cooperation with schools and other education centres in Romania in order to create a nationwide community of pupils and students.” - says Peter Frey, President of Scool Sp. z o.o., the company that owns Scool.ro..


“We believe that Scool.ro will become a Romanian equivalent of "Nasza Klasa" - the most popular social networking website in Poland. The huge success of this type of enterprise in Poland, allows us to expect, that the development of Scool.ro in Romania will be equally successful. Furthermore, the experienced team that is building Scool.ro has plenty of ideas, which, in connection with the investment by IIF, should be rewarded with success” – said Rafał Styczeń, President, IIF S.A.
