About Us
Inviko's history
Inviko was founded on April of 2009 by Adalberto Flores and Vidal Gonzalez.
What is Inviko?
Inviko is a service that helps people close deals and earn money by using their social networks.
Why are we doing it?
The accelerated growth of online social networks has prompted users to generate and exchange vast quantities of information amongst them. However, until now, there has been no efficient way for users to benefit from this information and their connections, to reach new reliable entities to get engaged in business relationships and help other people satisfy their needs. This is the opportunity Inviko is leveraging.
What type of deals do we want?
We like the craziest deals, like offering a commission for the opportunity to kiss Megan Fox or looking for a trip to the moon. However, we need to make Inviko a business so we can pay our living expenses; this is why we welcome users to post deals related to the following categories: Buy & Sell Products, Services, Banking & Finance, Business, Hiring, Real Estate, Meet People, Travel and Vehicles.
What makes us different?
Inviko leverages social networks and offers a marketplace where users can offer commissions for deals completed. It is performance-guaranteed since users only pay if the transaction is successful. It has the "Push" deals functionality in which Inviko suggests deals based on our users profile and tags. Last but not least, Inviko is a clean, easy-to-use and advertisement-free website that does not make you waste time in anything that is not important.
Who are we?
"We are what we repeatedly do." (Aristotle).

At Inviko, we have some quotes that express the way we are doing things. These are some quotes we like:

- Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men. (Goethe)
- Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
- Work hard. Have fun. Make history (Amazon)
- Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. (Steve Jobs)
